The battle lasted for a day and a night, the offensive of the 60th Army was counterattacked, and the Japanese army began to retreat, it can be said that now the soldiers on both sides have reached the limit, and what supports them to kill the enemy is the hatred in their hearts and the original oath. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese army of less than 4,000 troops began to shrink their strength and began to break through to the east, and the soldiers of the 60th Army naturally would not let them leave easily, but according to Zhang Chong's deployment, the 60th Army would not die in the encirclement, after all, although the current Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but it is absolutely not enough to completely annihilate these Japanese troops alone, and Zhang Chong has no troops in his hands that can be mobilized, if the losses expand, it is very likely that he will not be able to hold on.

Therefore, the 60th Army did not intercept after the Japanese army retreated, and still attacked from the rear or flank after the Japanese army broke through their encirclement, pursued the Japanese army and tried to maximize the results of the battle.

Wan Baobang also followed suit and ordered the artillery to turn around and fire all the Japanese troops, carry out fire strikes and divide small units of the Japanese army.

Under the fierce firepower, a squadron of the Japanese army was divided by artillery fire, and the Japanese army also divided this squadron in a panic, Li Zuo was overjoyed when he saw this: "Brothers, this group of little devils has no way to escape, annihilate them"!

"Mortars give me fire suppression, grenade preparation, charge"!

A series of orders were issued, and the soldiers of the front battalion charged at the Japanese army with machine gun bayonets, and the soldiers who followed pulled grenades and threw them in.

With the roar of the explosion, they quickly rushed into the temporary defense line formed by the Japanese army and strangled the Japanese army. Just when they were strangled with the Japanese army, the regimental commander Yang Hongyuan personally led the infantry to pursue the Japanese retreating troops from the left side, and in the dense gunfire, the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and Qiu Bingchang's regiment mobilized troops to flank the Japanese army, and in the melee, a Japanese squadron was divided by firepower.

"Inform the troops to quickly annihilate this Japanese army, and suppress the fire of the rest of the troops to prevent the rescue of the Japanese troops"! Qiu Bingchang ordered.

The two battalions of Qiu Bingchang's regiment were responsible for blocking the Japanese pursuit of the troops with firepower, and the rest of the troops followed and rushed in, the Japanese troops were surrounded little by little, eaten little by little, and after eating, they began to pursue again, and in a command vehicle of the Japanese army's Wang Ba box, a Japanese soldier Shaozuo came up and said: "Dazuo, the Chinese army is in hot pursuit, and has eaten our two squadrons, and another squadron is trapped, their firepower is very strong, and our rescue force cannot rescue, and there will be a lot of troops who will be gnawed off by them little by little if they run like this." 。

This Dazuo said with a ruthless face: "Inform the troops to change into gas masks and fire gas bombs with mortars"!

"Yes"!

After this Shaozo went out, he quickly gave an order, and the follow-up rout troops of the Japanese army put on gas masks, and the Japanese troops in front were divided into more than a dozen poison gas units, and nearly 100 mortars began to fire poison gas bombs at the pursuing troops of the 60th Army.

Yang Hongyuan's regiment was in pursuit, and a roar suddenly sounded in the crowd, and streams of yellow-white poisonous gas suddenly exploded in the crowd.

"It's poison gas, if you have a gas mask, hurry up and bring it, and if you don't, quickly cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth and go to the corpses of the Japanese soldiers to find a gas mask"! Yang Hongyuan shouted loudly.

At this moment, his guards hurriedly took off their gas masks and pressed them on Yang Hongyuan's mouth, and he quickly blocked his mouth and nose and ran to a corpse of the Japanese army, took out a gas mask and put it on.

At the same time, Li Zuo and the others also hurriedly put on gas masks, and the soldiers who did not have gas masks were also prepared in advance, hurriedly held their breath, opened the kettle, wet the cloth strips, and blocked their mouths and noses. Because of the preparations in advance, the Japanese army's poisonous gas did not cause large casualties, but Qiu Bingchang's troops came because of the long-distance attack, and the water in the kettle had already been drunk on the way, and they had no experience in anti-poisoning, and the two companies that fought with the Japanese army had been poisoned and fell to the ground almost in a few minutes, and the battalion commander in charge of the attack had red eyes and said: "Inform the brothers, plug your mouth and nose, and withdraw quickly"!

"Yes"!

After all, there are not too many soldiers with gas masks, so the damage to the Japanese army is limited, and it is very likely that they will be bitten by the Japanese army.

This battle almost ate half of the Japanese army's strength, a brigade's fierce offensive was repulsed, at this time the mountains, forests and fields were full of corpses, in the military headquarters, Zhang Chong breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The Japanese army retreated, we won"!

For a while, all the people in the field cheered, and even Lu Han stood up and applauded: "Good job, my sons and daughters in Yunnan Province are all good looks"!

Saying that, Lu Han personally picked up the phone, shook his mouth and said, "Pick up the High Command"!

After a while, the phone was connected, and Lu Han spoke: "Sir Chen, I am Lu Han"!

"I'm Chen Cheng, Brother Yongheng, please speak"! Chen Cheng picked up the phone and said.

"The 9th Division of the Japanese invaders assembled a brigade to attack the defense line of our Paishi, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, more than half of the Japanese army's losses have been retreated, our ammunition is urgently and urgently replenished, and our troops have suffered heavy losses, in order to prevent the Japanese army from retaliating, we request to allocate troops to strengthen the defense"! Luján said.

Chen Cheng's frowning brows suddenly slackened, the battle of Wuhan has been very unfavorable until now, the Japanese soldiers broke through our army's resistance all the way, and surrounded Wuhan from all directions, even though the Chinese army fought bravely, but after all, the equipment gap was too big, and it was only a matter of time before Wuhan fell if it continued to fight like this.

The 60th Army blocked the elite division of the Japanese Ninth Division, repeatedly defeated the attacks of the 9th Division, and now defeated a brigade and retreated, which was also rare good news at that time, Chen Cheng suddenly remembered the evaluation of the 60th Army by the German advisers at that time, and the 60th Army Division led by Lu Han was the most powerful force in China at that time.

To a certain extent, the capability of the 60th Army was affirmed, but objectively speaking, the representative strength of the Yunnan Dian Army of the 60th Army Division was also caused by the condensation of Yunnan's military strength for several decades, and it was impossible for China to have such a large number of well-trained troops in the society at that time, and it was impossible for Yunnan to have such a powerful army, and even the later 58th Army also recruited many recruits who had not been trained and had not experienced actual combat, which was also the main factor in the defeat of the Yunnan Army later.

There is only one Sixty Army, and it is still being consumed, and if this fight continues, the losses of the Sixty Army will undoubtedly be huge, until this war meat grinder wears them away little by little. Chen Cheng also realized the loss of strength of the Sixty Army and urgently needed military support, but now that he was in an emergency, he had no reinforcements to send, so he immediately spoke: "Brother Yongheng, you know the situation of the war, and I don't have too many troops in my hands, but now I can agree that I can make an exception to allocate ammunition to you, especially artillery shells and machine gun ammunition, you must persevere." For the sake of the final victory, this is our unshirkable responsibility as a Chinese."

Seeing Chen Cheng say this, Lu Han also knew that things could not be turned around, so he had to speak: "I will lead the 60th Army and the Japanese army to fight to the end and strive for the final victory"!

"Brother Yongheng has patriotic feelings and understands righteousness, I am very pleased, I will truthfully report these exploits to the chairman, and I will order them to send your ammunition, I have only one request, to firmly tie the Ninth Division to Pai City"!

"Yes"!

Putting down the phone, Lu Han immediately spoke: "Count the casualties of our department, from today onwards, fully implement the entanglement decision, avoid confrontation with the Japanese army, and use the surrounding mountains to fight with them, if you can delay a little more, you will have more hope!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chong said.

What has to be said here is that General Xue Yue, who was in charge of the Ninth Theater, commanded the troops to fight several beautiful battles in the Jiangxi region in a row, and the most proud was the victory of Wanjialing, which made Xue Yue and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army.

On October 2, 1938, the main force of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army went deep into the Wanjialing area, when it was found that the Japanese army was lone and went deep, General Xue Yue thought that the opportunity was rare, and General Xue Yue sent a telegram to Wuhan requesting the transfer of troops to encircle and annihilate this group of Japanese troops.

After General Xue Yue obtained the consent of the central authorities, he transferred from the three aspects of Dexing Road, Nanxun Road, and Ruiwu Road, including the 66th Army, the 74th Army, the 187th Division, and one brigade of the 139th Division, the 13th Division of the 91st Division, the 15th Brigade of the New Division, the 142nd Division, the 60th Division, the 6th Reserve Division, and the 19th Division, plus about 100,000 people from the Fourth Army of the front.

An army of 100,000 men surrounded it on all sides and attacked with all its might. On October 3, the 58th Division of the 74th Army took the lead in attacking the enemy's 106th Division, and the two sides launched an attack in the area of Wanjialing.

Just when the 58th Division and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely, Xue Yue's troops also arrived one after another, forming a big pocket to surround this lone Japanese army, Okamura Ningji found out Xue Yue's intentions and hurriedly ordered the 106th Division to turn north, move closer to the 27th Division, and at the same time ordered the 27th Division to meet the 106th Division.

It is said that the Japanese army finally came to a bad luck time, the Japanese army's 50,000th of the military map was stolen by Okamura Ningji from Sun Chuanfang, and then printed the departments, there were indeed some deviations here, plus the mountains here The Japanese army failed to identify the path and failed to quickly jump out of the encirclement, and what was even more unfortunate was that there were magnetite deposits in Wanjialing, and the Japanese army's compass failed, and they failed to break through for two days in the mountains, and they suffered blows from our army everywhere, and the Japanese encirclement was gradually narrowed.

From October 5th to 6th, the 74th Army, the main force of the First Corps, fought fiercely with the Japanese army at Changling, Beixi Street, Zhanggushan, Shishiyan and other places until October 7, the encirclement was completely formed, and the enemy's 106th Division was in a catastrophe.
