Commander Wei didn't expect Chief of Staff Xu Liming to repeatedly obstruct Lei Yunfeng's battle plan for the counterattack on the Dongyuan Defense Line, not only did he say a little angrily: "Chief of Staff Xu, I am now the commander of the Western Route Army, and I order you to immediately issue the 46th Regiment to cooperate with Lei Yunfeng again and launch a general attack on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing on time." ”

"Big brother, you, you are stubborn."

"Xu Liming, there is no big brother on the battlefield, I am your boss, I order you to immediately issue a final counterattack order to the 46th Brigade in the name of me and you, and those who violate the order will not be forgiven and will not be tolerated."

Less than five minutes after the 46th Brigade sent a telegram to Chief of Staff Xu Liming, it received a stern-tone telegram signed by Commander Wei and Chief of Staff Xu.

The 46th Brigade was ordered to cooperate with the 54th Regiment of Lei Yunfeng at 3:40 a.m. to launch the fiercest attack on the headquarters of the 20th Division's Inoue Yong Brigade Regiment and the Guanshan Hizhong Wing.

At this time, the chief of staff of the 46th Brigade, who was holding the message, said with a wry smile: "Brigade seat, it seems that Commander Wei and Chief of Staff Xu have been kidnapped by Lei Yunfeng, a small spy sent by the Military Command Department, otherwise they would not have sent such a harshly worded telegram to you." ”

Brigade Commander Kong looked at his watch, and there was less than an hour before the time to launch the general attack, and ordered to issue an order to all regiments, ordering all the weapons and ammunition in reserve to be distributed to the battalion company, and when the time came, launch a general attack on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing with the heaviest firepower.

In their opinion, it was very difficult for the front-line positions of the 46th Brigade to cope with the enemy's attack head-on, and the troops were extremely short of weapons and ammunition.

The three regiment commanders directly under the brigade headquarters and the commander of the reserve regiment of the West Route Army almost unanimously rushed to the brigade headquarters to inquire, especially Zhang Zhirui, the commander of the reserve regiment, who unceremoniously asked: "Brigade Commander Kong, who issued this combat mission, is it ......?" ”

"Don't get excited, this is a combat order jointly signed by Commander Wei and Chief of Staff Xu of the Western Route Army, the enemy is currently pressing for time, as a soldier, it is my duty to obey orders, even if everyone has opinions, we must obey the overall situation, I order you to return to the army immediately, and make pre-battle preparations according to the deployment, if anyone dares to disobey the order, there will be no mercy."

Several regiment commanders were puzzled and aggrieved, although they were dissatisfied and dissatisfied in their hearts, but this was an order, and disobedience was to kill their heads, so they had to quickly return to the troops and urgently mobilize the troops to make pre-war preparations

According to the information obtained by Lei Yunfeng from the reconnaissance, he ordered Fang Shichao to drive two earthen armored vehicles to the front line, adjust the artillery positions according to the Japanese artillery positions shown on the combat map, and destroy the artillery positions of the Guanshan Wing with the most intense artillery fire once the first shot of the general attack was fired.

The 13th Battalion of the 54th Regiment was ordered to launch an attack on the Guanshan Wing from the front, cover the movement of the 14th and 15th Battalions from both flanks to the enemy's position with maximum firepower, and reach the designated position to organize the most powerful firepower to destroy the enemy's living forces.

The cavalry team, composed of the Cheetah commandos and the reconnaissance platoon, was ordered to observe the enemy's formation in the rear of the main force launching the attack, first, to alert the enemy's rear reinforcements to carry out fire blockade, and second, to be ready for reinforcements at any time.

When there were still 20 minutes before the launch of the general attack, Lei Yunfeng ordered the troops to move to the front line in secret, arrive at the designated position and wait for the battle, and enter the special combat preparations.

At this time, the Japanese front commander Sekiyama Hinaka Dazuo, lying in the tent that had just been moved from the woods to the field, had not yet fallen asleep, and suddenly heard fierce gunfire from the direction of Gumoling.

He sat down on the improvised marching bed without sleep, and shouted to the outside: "Get me the combat staff officer immediately." ”

"Report, Operational Staff Officer Kenki Fujiwara reports to His Excellency Osa." 17

"You come in and tell me, why is there such a fierce gunfire in the direction of Gumoling, what news does Chief of Staff Kameda have?"

"Report to Your Excellency Osa, the sound of gunfire coming from Gumoling should be the small force that led the Noda squadron to chase and kill the small unit that attacked my base camp, and surrounded it in the area of Gumoling, and the most fierce siege is going on at this time, however, Chief of Staff Kameda has never sent back any news."

"Nani? The Noda squadron led by Chief of Staff Kameda pursued and killed the enemy who was sneaking up, and it was impossible to temporarily pursue and kill the enemy with mortars. ”

Operational staff officer Fujiwara Kenki heard Captain Sekiyama ask him this, not only said cautiously: "Your Excellency, in the rear of our Imperial Japanese Army, it should be impossible for the main force of the Shina troops to appear, let alone equipped with mortars, it should be reinforcements sent by the 71st Brigade Hahe Shiba Wing, otherwise it is very difficult to explain." ”

"Hey, the reinforcements sent by the 71st Brigade Yuhechai Wing should arrive at Gumoling at this time period, just in time to meet with the Noda squadron led by Chief of Staff Kameda, and encircle the small Shina troops that attacked my base camp to carry out a powerful siege."

"It's still His Excellency Dazuo's high opinion, but how can you still use mortars to help fight with a small sneak attack on a small unit? Besides, when I heard the sound of gunfire, it was like, as if it was a large army fighting, because the gunfire was too intense, so I doubted ....... ”

"What do you mean by your suspicion? Say it quickly. ”

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Dazuo, I suspect that the Noda squadron led by Chief of Staff Kameda had a fierce battle with the small unit of the chasing Shina in Gumo Ridge in the night, and the 71 Brigade Yuhe Chai Wing that happened to come to reinforce had a misunderstanding in the unknown night, and our side exchanged fire with each other to make such a loud gun sound in Gumo Ridge?"

"No, no, no, your statement is very far-fetched, the Imperial Japanese Army has a strict combat system, and even if there is a misunderstanding, it will be distinguished in the shortest possible time, and the misunderstanding will not last for so long."

"Hayi, it's Fujiwara Kenki, damn it, it shouldn't be so simple."

Although Captain Sekiyama Hinaka said this to the operations staff officer Fujiwara Kenki, he himself felt unbelievable.

Because the gunfire lasted for too long, Chief of Staff Kameda led Noda's squadron to chase down the small Shina unit that attacked the base camp, and he should not have made such a big move at all.

Besides, since the small army dares to sneak attack, it must be a perfect strategy to retreat with all its might, and there will definitely be a clear retreat route when retreating, even if it is tightly bitten, it will quickly get rid of the pursuing enemy because the troops are short and capable.

But now the sound of gunfire from Gumoling has lasted for more than ten minutes, not only has it not weakened, but it has become more and more intense, which cannot but arouse the great suspicion of the cunning captain of Guan Shan Feizhong.

This arrogant fellow, although doubts appeared in his mind, were soon carried away by the glory that the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible.

He shook his head and said contemptuously: "The battle in Gumoling is so fierce, it must be the Noda squadron led by Chief of Staff Kameda, who found the receiving force of the small army in that area, and surrounded it with the most ferocious attack, which is being wiped out at this time."

If his thinking is reversed, it is the Noda squadron led by Kameda, who was lured to the ambush circle of the large army of Gumo Lingzhi at this time, and is fighting hard to break through the siege, and is being wiped out in the case of being outnumbered.

This result was not expected by Captain Guan Shan, because he was overconfident in his troops, and self-confidence was an accomplice to defeat.
