The commander of the 10th Division, Peng, ordered the trumpeters to blow the trumpet and launch a fierce attack on the 2nd Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army, which was cowering in the corner of the road.

Dongwuling stretched for more than ten kilometers, and the sound of shouting and killing and gunfire shook the earth and echoed in the narrow canyon. All the ambushed troops slaughtered the road like tigers from the mountains north and south of the hidden road, and engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the recalcitrant remnants of the enemy.

After nearly an hour of close fighting, the 2nd Echelon Regiment had been beaten and fled in all directions, and was in a state of overall rout. Except for a very small number of operational garrison units that fled in formations, the other remnants of the little devils fled from the battlefield in groups of three or five.

The battle continued until about 13:30 in the afternoon, and the commander of the 2nd echelon, Yamashita Nakasa, packed up the remnants and assembled in Shangwu Village one after another, and the panic who did not dare to stay fled towards Jicheng.

The 10th Division, the 1st Division of the 14th Division, the Jin Sui Army, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the Third Column of the Decisive Death set up an ambush at Dongwuling to eliminate the transport convoy of the 2nd Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army.

The commander of the reconnaissance company of the 10th Division, who was in charge of the reconnaissance, reported to Division Commander Peng: "Divisional seat, the headquarters of the 1st Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army, as well as the 39th, 35th, and 38th Transport Squadrons, are they fighting fiercely with the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, are they reinforced?" ”

Division Commander Peng immediately ordered the troops to prepare for reinforcements, quickly reach the front of the Japanese 1st Echelon Regiment position, and destroy it with the most intense firepower.

Just when the 2nd Echelon Regiment, which was the vanguard of the Japanese army, was in a life-and-death battle at Dongwu Ridge, the 39th, 35th, and 38th Transport Squadrons led by the commander of the 1st Echelon Regiment Kawaguchi Ladder followed closely behind and advanced to the entrance east of Dongwu Ridge.

The vanguard of the front found that the rear convoy of the 2nd Echelon Regiment was on fire, and soon the flames were in the sky, and they heard the sound of fierce gunfire in front of them, and immediately reported to Kawaguchi Nakasa.

Although Commander Kawaguchi Ladder heard the fierce gunfire coming from the front, he thought that the 2nd Echelon Regiment had been attacked by a small group of anti-Japanese armed forces again on the way, and he could not help but be surprised when he received a report from the soldiers who ran ahead.

In order to find out what was going on in front of him, Kawaguchi Nakasa drove ahead, but he found that his 1st Echelon Regiment had entered the entrance to Higashiyaling, and the 2nd Echelon Regiment in front was ambushed by the Shina troops, destroying the entire convoy and burning on the road, completely blocking the passage of advance.

Commander Kawaguchi Ladder, who was regretting the fate of the 2nd Echelon Regiment, was suddenly hit by the fiercest fire of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the infantry machine guns and mortars of the Third Column of the Decisive Death Brigade that had set up an ambush at the entrance of Dongwuling.

The commander of the 1st Echelon, Nakasa Kawaguchi, immediately ordered the garrison and self-defense forces of the transport team to counterattack with maximum firepower, and ordered the follow-up convoy to immediately turn around and return to Qinshui Castle, where it must not be wiped out by the Shina troops.

The captain of the operational garrison in charge of the rear guard reported: "The rear team was hit by artillery fire from the Chinese troops, the vehicles were destroyed, the road was blocked, and they could not return to Qinshui City.

The head of the Kawaguchi Ladder did not expect that just a few dozen kilometers away from Qinshui City, he was ambushed by the Zhina troops on the front line of Dongwuling.

In view of the extremely dangerous situation, Kawaguchi Nakasa decisively issued an order: "'Each squadron leader can burn the car, and command each squadron to take the troops together, repel the enemy intercepted by fire in front, and quickly move closer to the 2nd Echelon Regiment of Dongwuling.'" ”

The 39th, 35th, and 38th Transport Squadrons of the 1st Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army received an order from Kawaguchi Nakasa, ordering all vehicles to assemble at once, occupy the high ground with favorable terrain on both sides of the road, and launch a counterattack against the Shina troops who were carrying out fire strikes.

The officers and men of the 368th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army killed the officers and men of the third column, and in the face of the Japanese 1st Echelon Regiment following the 2nd Echelon Regiment into Dongwu Ridge, they immediately issued an order to carry out a fire strike, but they did not expect that the commander of the 1st Echelon of the Japanese Army, Kawaguchi Nakasa, would give a stupid order.

At this time, the 1st Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army, which was hit by fire, in accordance with the order of the commander of the Kawaguchi Ladder, saw that the advance was blocked, and the retreat was blocked by the destroyed vehicles, and even set fire to the convoy itself. Miao

The Japanese army organized a simple fire counterattack and immediately moved closer to the 2nd Echelon Regiment, but they did not know that the 2nd Echelon Regiment was already too busy to take care of itself at this time and was in a death predicament.

The Japanese 35th Transport Squadron, which was holding on to a high ground east of Dongwuling to carry out fire resistance, was about to be surrounded by the 368th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, but it could not receive firepower reinforcements from the 39th and 38th Transport Squadrons.

When the 35th Transport Squadron found that the 39th and 38th Transport Squadrons had withdrawn from their positions at some point, they not only ordered the troops to quickly retreat to the road, contain the dead and wounded soldiers, and quickly advance to the assembly area of the 2nd Echelon Regiment in advance.

On the way to the 2nd Echelon Regiment in front, the 1st Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army was surrounded and annihilated by the fire of the ambushed units, and most of them suffered casualties, and the remnants of the 1st Echelon Regiment fled to Jicheng with less than 50 remnants.

The Battle of Dongwuling was basically over, and it entered the stage of all-out cleaning up the battlefield.

The commander of the 10th Division, Peng, received reports on the battle situation of the various ambush units, but there was no news from the 54th Regiment of the 17th Division of Lei Yunfeng, not only did he frown and think that this Lei Yun Feng did not know what the hell was going on.

Lei Yunfeng led the 54th Regiment and did not directly participate in the ambush operation of the large army, because the 54th Regiment of the Western Route Army did not receive the ambush task, and it was Lei Yunfeng who knew that he would launch an ambush battle in Dongwuling according to the information stored in his memory in his previous life.

In order to restore the combat capability of the 54th Regiment in a short period of time in order to defend Yongji City, which was disabled in the first line of defense, and to be replenished with soldiers and weapons and equipment, he made a military order and risked leading the 54th Regiment to participate in the Dongwuling ambush.

When he led the 54th Regiment to Dongwuling, he did not have any contact with friendly forces, but took the opportunity to expand his troops at Dongwuling, and reasonably distributed the weapons, ammunition and booty captured by the sneak attack on the 2nd Echelon Regiment of the Japanese army, and conducted intensive training for the troops.

After a short three-day intensive training, Lei Yunfeng took this unit out of Dongwuling and directly interspersed with Mao'er Mountain.

Arrived at Mao'er Mountain, found a hidden mountain trap, and with the help of the cover of the woods, the 54th Regiment was once again trained in the mountains.

When he heard the fierce sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Dongwuling, and then the smoke and flames of gunpowder exploded from the sky above the direction of Dongwuling, Lei Yunfeng ordered the troops to immediately enter the Maoershan ambush position, waiting for the enemy who was routed from Dongwuling to Jicheng and Quwo to flee, and was ready to strike at the fleeing enemy again.

Liao Yingqiang, the deputy commander of the 13th Battalion who served as the reconnaissance mission, that is, the deputy leader of the armed plainclothes team formed during the mission, returned from the front reconnaissance to report;

The 2nd Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army was blocked by heavy fire from our troops at Dongwuling and launched an attack on it, and at this time only two armored vehicles and a dozen trucks were quickly fleeing towards Maoer Mountain.

The 39th, 35th, and 38th Transport Squadrons of the 1st Echelon Regiment of the Japanese Army, when the front and rear passages were blocked by our firepower, took the initiative to set fire to the transport vehicles and the important materials on board.

In response to the Japanese troops who were rapidly advancing like Mao'er Mountain, Lei Yunfeng ordered Fang Shichao: "Ah Chao, the next step depends on how you, an expert in learning machine and weapon manufacturing and repair in Germany, will deliver a big meal to the fleeing Japanese army." ”

"Hahaha, don't worry, boss, as long as the Japanese armored vehicles pass through the minefield I have laid, the mechanized troops of the little devils will definitely be turned into a pile of scrap metal, and even the little devils in the car will be wiped out most of the main force in the first wave of mine warfare."

"Very good, can our 54th Regiment play a majestic role in the Dongwuling ambush battle, and become an iron army that cannot be defeated or dragged in the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater, more than 700 soldiers are waiting for it, just wait for your mine warfare to make the first contribution, and act immediately."
