The Western Route Army stationed on the western line of Zhongtiao Mountain and the Japanese army that invaded southern Jinnan fought for Yongji, and the enemy and us experienced the most tragic fierce battles, and the current battlefield situation has reached a stalemate.

Commander Wei received an order from Shangfeng and led the troops of Guanzhong Lengwa to cross the Yellow River east from Chaoyi to Yongji via Daqingguan Ferry. In order to facilitate the command, he immediately traveled south through Hanyang Town and stationed in Liuguan Village, which was at the western end of Zhongtiao Mountain.

From this time on, the Northwest Army, which had arrived at the designated combat position, was changed from the original Xi'an camp control system to the Western Route Army of the Zhongtiao Mountain Front, which belonged to the Luoyang First Theater and was commanded by the commander of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater at this time.

After the Western Route Army arrived in Yongji, Commander Wei ordered his troops to build fortifications in the area of Dongzhang Village, north of Yongji, as fast as possible, in order to meet the Japanese army attacking Zhongtiao Mountain in a big way.

Just when the Western Route Army was not firmly established and rushed to repair the fortifications, the 77th Wing of the 102nd Division of the Japanese Army dispatched more than 3,000 Japanese troops to carry out a frantic attack on Yongji under the cover of aircraft and artillery, and successively captured Xie County and Yu Township.

The Japanese troops, who had successfully attacked, took a break and immediately rushed to Yongji City in three directions with sophisticated weapons and equipment, and attacked the forward positions of our 177th Division with armed forces, and the Japanese troops advanced to the north of Donglu Village and had an encounter with the outpost of our 177th Division.

In order to combat the arrogance of the Japanese army's frantic attack, the 177th Division ordered the troops to launch a night sneak attack on the Japanese troops occupying Zhangying Village.

The vanguard of the Japanese army advanced deep into Zhouwugou alone, and was detected by the armed plainclothes team of our 177th Division, and the 177th Division concentrated its forces to set up an ambush in advance, and divided the fire of the Japanese troops who entered Zhouwugou, and surrounded and hunted them in sections.

After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the enemy and us engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and with the help of absolute superiority, our army caused the Japanese troops to flee in all directions, with heavy casualties and corpses all over the field.

This was the Northwest Army's eastward crossing of the Yellow River under the command of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater under the control of the Xi'an Xingying Battalion, and the first shot of the independent anti-Japanese war was fired on the outer line of Yongji, and the first big victory was achieved, which greatly boosted the morale of Guanzhong Lengwa spiritually.

The 54th Regiment of the 17th Division, which was responsible for the first line of defense on the northern front to block the enemy's attack, engaged in many battles with the enemy in Gaoshi Village.

The 54th Regiment held its position on the hills outside Gaoshi Village and launched 14 counterattack battles with an attacking Japanese squadron, but under the cover of heavy fire from enemy aircraft and artillery, it suffered heavy casualties and withdrew from the first line of defense south of Gaoshi Village.

Lei Yunfeng made a military order as the commander of the 54th Regiment, and led the troops to participate in the Dongwuling ambush and the night attack on Wangjiazhuang.

The 67th Regiment, which was holding the northern line of Gaoshi Village, was broken through by the Japanese in the first line of defense of the 54th Regiment, and was immediately attacked by the enemy's powerful fire from the front and flanks.

The 17th Regiment of the 67th Division launched a fierce blocking battle with the Japanese on the first line of defense, repelled many enemy attacks, and when the 54th Regiment was lost and the position situation of the flank defense line deteriorated extremely, the position appeared precarious.

In order to hold the position until the last moment, Guo Ziqing, the commander of the 21st Battalion of the 67th Regiment, saw that the position was almost scorched by the bombardment of Japanese aircraft and artillery.

The troops suffered heavy casualties, their weapons were damaged, their ammunition was exhausted, and the cold babies who were still alive were covered in blood, and the seriously wounded soldiers were simply bandaged and lay on the position with their guns in their arms.

The lightly wounded warriors did not have time, or arguably had no medical bandages to bandage, to treat them, so they let the wounds continue to bleed. Yoyo Book League

They fought fiercely for two days and one night with the ferocious enemy, without a sip of water or a grain of food, when their eyes were sunken and their mouths were chapped, and they looked extremely tragic against the background of the smoke and flames of the position.

Battalion Commander Guo Ziqing pointed to the Japanese position that had been repulsed again, and said in a hoarse voice: "We are all Guanzhong Lengwa brothers, leaving our hometown and swearing to our parents, wives and children, crossing the Yellow River east to kill devils.

Now, in order to block the enemy on the Yongji line of the Yellow River, defend the Yellow River, defend Tongguan, and defend the fathers and villagers in the pass, this should be the last moment for us to fight the enemy with our lives to the end.

I ordered that when the enemy attacked our defensive line again, we would repel the enemy's attack with the fiercest fighting. Once the position is lost, as long as the Guanzhong Lengwa brothers are still alive, they will immediately retreat to Gaoshi Village.

Please don't think that I am afraid that the enemy is fleeing, and I want to lead the enemy into Gaoshi Village, and use the street courtyard as a cover in the village to start a street battle with the enemy, so that we can deal with the enemy and kill as many devils as possible.

Brothers Lengwa, have you launched a final fight with the enemy and used your lives to realize the tragic slogan of our eastward crossing of the Yellow River? ”

"Defend the Yellow River, I will die to the enemy, swear to kill the enemy, and blood will be splashed on the battlefield! Born as a cold baby in Guanzhong, and died as a ghost in Guanzhong! ”

Battalion Commander Guo Ziqing nodded and said sadly: "Brother Leng Wa, you have to believe that we died on the battlefield, and after eighteen years, we will be a Leng Wa, once the enemy attacks our position again, there will be no bullets and a gun with a bayonet, no gun with a big knife to kill the devil with me——。 ”

"Kill the devil-", "Kill the devil-" 。。。。。。

The soldiers of the 21st Battalion of the 67th Regiment bravely stood at the front of the position with guns and broadswords, and fought to the death with the Japanese soldiers who broke through the position.

According to the deployment of the battalion commander Guo Ziqing before the war, the soldiers fought to the death for more than ten minutes with the devils who broke through the position.

The Japanese army launched a number of crazy attacks on the first line of defense of the Western Route Army, breaking through the forward position of the 17th Division at this time, after attacking and fighting again and again, the remnants of the Chinese army fled into the village in a hurry, and the Japanese commander waved his command knife and fiercely pointed at Gaoshi Village and shouted: "Kill to ——。 ”

When it was found that the 21st Battalion of the 67th Regiment had withdrawn from the position, the Japanese army followed closely behind to carry out fierce fire pursuit, and the platoon commander shouted:

"Brother Leng Wa, we must cover the retreat of the troops led by Battalion Commander Guo with the heaviest firepower, and the bullets are loaded to listen to my orders and prepare for battle."

Battalion Commander Guo Ziqing led the soldiers to quickly retreat into Gaoshi Village, and before they could do a good job of concealment, they heard fierce gunfire erupting again behind them.

The Japanese army, with superior strength and excellent weapons and ammunition, launched an attack on the 21st Battalion of the 67th Regiment, which was blocked, and soon the position at the entrance of the village was broken through, and the little devils frantically rushed into the village and carried out a wanton and brutal massacre.

At this time, from the front line headquarters of the West Route Army in Liuguan Village, Chief of Staff Xu Liming, who rushed to the 67th Regiment of the 17th Division to stick to the first line of defense on the northwest highlands of Gaoshi Village, found that the position had been lost, and the 21st Battalion of the 67th Regiment retreated to Gaoshi Village to engage in street fighting with the enemy, and immediately rushed to reinforcements with an assault platoon.

Chief of Staff Xu led the assault platoon and suddenly launched an attack behind the enemy.
