Lei Yunfeng agreed to the request of the soldiers of the 54th Regiment, a cold baby unit, and promised to hand over the military power when he returned to the headquarters of the Western Route Army after completing this mission, and he would never rely on it, because he still had more important tasks to complete.

After less than half a day, Lei Yunfeng visited the battalion, company, and platoon for individual discussions, grasped the mainstream to do work, and basically calmed the shadows in the hearts of the soldiers of the 54th Regiment.

The officers and soldiers of the 54th Regiment who assembled again shouted in the face of Lei Yunfeng, who once again carried Regiment Commander Guo Fengming on his shoulders: "We are Shaanxi Lengwa, 'I am born for China, I die for China, if you want to save yourself, you must first kill the enemy!'"

Commander Wei and Chief of Staff Xu, who were standing in front of the queue, did not expect that the white-faced scholar Lei Yunfeng would conquer the untamable arrogant and cold babies of the 54th Regiment in just half a day, and not only praised Lei Yunfeng.

But they don't know if it will be a disaster to hand over the 54th Regiment to this Lei Yunfeng, who did not lead troops to fight, but at this point, they can only look at the results head-on, and it is best not to disappoint them.

Lei Yunfeng arranged the troops to wait for the students, walked into the headquarters of the West Route Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater again, and asked Commander Wei to lead the 54th Regiment into the area of Dongwuling in advance.

Its purpose is to use this crippled iron army, through iron discipline and cruel training, to once again stimulate the 54th Regiment Shaanxi Lengwa's will to fight against Japan and kill the enemy.

Lei Yunfeng, who had received the approval of Commander Wei's request, returned to the unit to form a commando team of battalion, company, and platoon deputy personnel, and Lei Yunfeng personally served as the captain and took the lead in leaving Yongji City to remove obstacles for the follow-up troops, and at the same time, it was also a life-and-death training for the 54th Regiment that had just been enriched to the battalion, company, and platoon deputy positions.

Hou Sheng, deputy regiment commander Hou Sheng, with nearly 600 soldiers of the 54th Regiment, was divided into three construction battalions, with Hou Sheng, Fang Shichao and Zhu Zhensheng respectively leading the troops to follow closely behind the assault team, interspersed with the enemy's blockade line, and secretly rushed to Dongwuling.

The main direction of attack of the 110th and 114th Divisions of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front was the counties, towns, and townships near Yongji City on the western line of Zhongtiao Mountain.

The Japanese launched a number of frantic attacks on the main target, inflicting heavy casualties on the Western Route Army stationed on the western line of Zhongtiao Mountain, the first line of defense was broken through, and the Japanese army was launching a larger-scale attack on the second line of defense.

The Japanese army not only launched a fierce attack on the National Revolutionary Army on the western line of Zhongtiao Mountain, but also dispatched heavy troops to launch a brutal sweep on the central line of Zhongtiao Mountain and the eastern front in southern Jin.

The National Revolutionary Army held on to Zhongtiao Mountain launched a sweep against the Japanese army, and the combat units used the terrain and mountain forest cover to fight the enemy to the death, and the Japanese sweeping troops that blocked the attack advanced slowly.

When the firepower of the enemy and us was intertwined and infiltrated each other, the commander of the Japanese North China Front Sugiyama Yuan ordered the 14th and 16th divisions of the First Army to withdraw from the Zhongtiao Mountain position and reinforce the Battle of Xuzhou at full speed.

The 20th Division of the Japanese Army, which attacked the frontal troops of our army in Zhongtiao Mountain, was forced to abandon the surrounding areas of Changzhi because it lost the two flanks of the 14th and 16th Divisions to cover and contain them.

The commander of the Nakajo Mountain Theater ordered the troops to take advantage of the situation to counterattack the towns of Quwo and Houma, which were occupied by the Japanese, and under the powerful attack, the Japanese 20th Division desperately resisted, and suffered heavy casualties in the mountain battles launched by both the enemy and us.

The 20th Division of the Japanese Army lost the follow-up cooperation of friendly troops due to its lonely army, and all kinds of anti-Japanese forces of our army attacked one after another, harassing the enemy in various forms of combat, and ambushing the Japanese supply lines, resulting in an extreme shortage of food, weapons, and ammunition for the Japanese army.

The commander of the Japanese First Army received telegrams from the 20th Division for help one after another, and immediately ordered the 4th Brigade to quickly assemble in Linfen, and ordered the 108th Division to hand over the military garrison positions near Qinghua Town to the 14th Division, which had been formed by the First Army.

The Japanese 108th Division received the latest order to advance as quickly as possible to the vicinity of Jiangxian County, and immediately entered the battle to attack the National Revolutionary Army in front of the 20th Division.

According to the marching route issued by Shangfeng, the division commander ordered the Nakano detachment and the infantry brigade to form an advance team as the backbone, with Nakano as the leader of the advance team, and led the leading detachment to set off from Huaiqing and attack the position of the National Revolutionary Army on the way through Jiyuan to Yuanqu County.

The Japanese Nakano advance team was a well-armed mixed combat unit, with light and heavy machine guns, a mortar squadron, a cavalry squadron, and two armored vehicles to clear the way at the front.

Under the command of Nakano Daisa, the Japanese advance team took crazy firepower to attack the anti-Japanese forces, captured Jiyuan City the next day, and captured Yuanqu County on the morning of the fifth day.

On the same day, the main force of the 4th Brigade was independently mixed and received an order to pass through Linfen by train and quickly occupy the Quwo area.

The commander of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army learned that the Nakano advance team had successfully occupied Yuanqu County, and ordered the main force to advance as quickly as possible to the north of Yuanqu County, which was occupied by the Nakano advance team, passing through the area east of Qinshui, and finally advanced to the Jicheng area after six days of frantic attack.

The 20th and 108th Divisions of the Japanese Army, as well as the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, were blocked by the powerful firepower of our frontal anti-Japanese armed forces when they advanced to the established strategic points, and the Japanese army consumed a large amount of weapons, ammunition, food, and important military supplies, and the troops urgently needed a large amount of military supplies.

Lieutenant General Aoji Kazuki, commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front, successively received telegrams from the commanders of the 20th and 108th Divisions and the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade requesting the supply of weapons, ammunition, food, and important military supplies in the army.

Commander Xiangyue Qingsi ordered the 33rd, 35th, 36th, 38th, and 39th transport squadrons under the jurisdiction of the automobile squadron of the Qinshui City Military Station Department, and temporarily transferred the 81st and 83rd automobile squadrons of the automobile used by the military station headquarters to replenish all automobile squadrons with a full quota of 135 soldiers, and each squadron was equipped with 40-50 heavy trucks

The Japanese military station headquarters in Qinshui City received an order from the military headquarters to transport the military supplies of the Japanese troops in front from Qinshui to Jicheng, and to replenish weapons, ammunition, food, and important military supplies for the 108th Division and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade in a timely manner.

The main force of the 108th Division, which had been replenished with military supplies, advanced more frantically towards Quwo, and the transportation line of the Qinshui Corps Station was extended to Quwo.

Due to the long transportation route and the interception and harassment by the anti-Japanese armed forces on the way, the importance of the Qinshuicheng Military Station was greatly reduced, and the Japanese military headquarters decided to close the Qinshuicheng Military Station.

The Japanese troops stationed in Qinshui City received an order from the military headquarters: 'All units stationed in Qinshui should withdraw from Qinshui and advance towards Quwo,' and the military station was divided into two echelons, the first and second echelons, and moved to Quwo.

The commander of the second echelon, Yamashita Nakasa, was composed of the forward Okada Garrison Team, the Operations Team, the Engineer Squadron, the Hirai Squad, the 2nd Transport Surveillance Team of the 12th Division, the Independent Heavy Machine Gun Squad, and the 33rd, 36th, 81st, and 83rd Transport Squadrons of the Military Station Transport Team.

In order to be afraid of being ambushed and blocked by the anti-Japanese armed forces during the transportation, the commander of the Yamashita Ladder was not only equipped with the Okada garrison in the front, but also equipped with the machine gun squadron led by Lieutenant Takeda and the Kuroda infantry squad in the rear.

Kawaguchi, the commander of the first echelon regiment, led the 39th, 35th, and 38th transport squadrons of the regiment headquarters and the military station, which have completed the delivery of military supplies to Jicheng and are returning to Qinshui City.
