"Order Ma Wenhai and the others to resist the attack of the little devil for me. Order Wang Chengzhu, turn the muzzle, and reinforce the soldiers who are blocking the position to defend! Fast! ”

Seeing the three or four thousand men and horses of the Japanese army commanded by Ushijima Man, who commanded the entire wing, and the desperate onslaught of the pig to attack the encirclement position set up by Ma Wenhai and others on the valley road, Li Yunlong observed for a while and then waved his hand and ordered to the staff officer on the side.

"Yes, Captain."

I saw that the staff officer of the regiment headquarters who was shouted by Li Yunlong directly picked up the field phone on the table in the bunker headquarters and ordered Ma Wenhai and others to strengthen the defense and block the attack.

At this time, an hour had passed since the ambush battle in Qiaogou Canyon east of Pingxingguan, and the battle was still fierce.

Not only did Ma Wenhai and others work hard to block the breakthrough of the Japanese army cluster on Ushijima, but Gu Shoufu was also ugly at this time.

Unexpectedly, he was too arrogant, and he didn't send troops to search and reconnoiter along the way, so that Gu Shoufu didn't find that the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the 28th regiment and the three independent regiments would meet and ambush here.

As a result, the 6th Division is now encircled and ambushed by the other side, and after being divided and cut off, it is forced to fight separately. Although Gu Shoufu urgently ordered the headquarters of the 11th Infantry Brigade of the division, which had almost walked out of the Qiaogou Gorge and marched in the direction of Pingxingguan, to retreat in the direction of Pingxingguan, it was too late.

By the time Tani Shofu realized the seriousness of the situation and ordered the commander of the 11th Brigade, Major General Tokutaro, to move closer to the division headquarters, his division headquarters and most of the 11th Brigade were surrounded by the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

On the narrow Qiaogou Gorge, Gu Shoufu, who was close to the central position of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, temporarily occupied a hidden place on the side of the valley road with the division headquarters to establish a temporary field headquarters and coordinate and direct the counterattack of the Japanese troops in all parts of the division.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, Your Excellency the Division Commander, and the Commander of Okabe have called back and have ordered the 5th Air Brigade at Taiyuan Airport to rush to our reinforcements, but it will take time. In addition, the commander has already fanned, and the garrisons of various towns and towns in the outer blockade of the Hengshan base area such as Yanmen Pass, Daixian, Yangmingbao, and Laiyuan have come to us for reinforcements. ”

When Gu Shoufu was uncomfortable, the chief of staff of the division, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, hurriedly took a telegram that had just been translated and reported to Gu Shoufu.

Gu Shoufu immediately snatched it and looked at it, "Yo Xi, Yo Xi, inform the warriors of the imperial army of all divisions and regiments of this news." How is the attack of Mitsuru Ushijima's troops progressing now? ”

Reinforcements arrived in a hurry, and Gu Shoufu pounced on the map to see that perhaps reinforcements were rushing to Pingxingguan with all their might, or they might be able to counter-encircle and ambush the Eighth Route Army troops of the 6th Division. It's just that until now, Gu Shoufu was not sure whether the troops of the Eighth Route Army who ambushed them were the headquarters of the new regiment in the Hengshan Mountains.

It's just that according to Shimono Yihuo's previous analysis, the new group of people in the Hengshan Mountains can only have five or six thousand people at most, not more than 10,000 people.

And now the Chinese troops ambushing the 6th Division on the mountainous hills on both sides of the Qiaogou Gorge have at least 10,000 people. At this point in the fierce fighting, Gu Shoufu determined that the Chinese army ambushing them was at least between 13,000 and 5,000 men.

However, although it was much less than the 20,000-odd men of the 6th Division, the other side occupied a favorable terrain for an ambush, and it was a favorable terrain that was not suitable for the Japanese field division to launch a counterattack.

Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo smiled bitterly: "Ushijima Mansu reported that he had personally ordered a whole group of imperial troops to storm the enemy positions that were blocked on the valley road in the direction of Pingxingguan. Just five minutes ago, more than 1,000 Chinese troops reinforced the position of the Chinese army attacked by Ushijima Manchu, and repelled the onslaught of Ushijima Manchu! Your Excellency, Division Commander, the situation is not optimistic! The Eighth Route Army, which ambushed us, is likely to be the main force of the 129th Division! ”。

"Yaga Ya Road, Ushijima is full of this waste!"

Gu Shoufu said angrily when he heard this: "Also, it can't be the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. The 129th Division is very far away from Pingxing Pass, and it is impossible for the main force of its division on a large scale to bypass Yanmen Pass, Hunyuan, Yingcheng, Lingqiu County and other places in a short period of time to lurk here and wait for attack! It must be some other Eighth Route Army troops! ”。

Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo didn't dare to refute Gu Shoufu's analysis, but said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the current battle situation is not optimistic. The main force of our division was divided and surrounded by the ambush of the other side, and the 11th Infantry Brigade was almost intermittently unable to get in touch. At present, we have lost all units of the 11th Infantry Brigade, and we have not been able to receive them. ”。

"Baga Ya Road! Send someone to re-contact Ukai Tokutaro and order him to make every effort to command the post headquarters to move closer to the division and regiment headquarters, and will retreat with the division headquarters in the direction of Pingxingguan. Fighting on their own, they can only become the target of the opponent's ambush fire! Just go! ”

Gu Shoufu looked at the topographic map of Pingxingguan in front of him, and pointed to the side of the valley road east of Pingxingguan Qiaogou Canyon near the direction of Lingqiu County.

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I understand my humble duties!"

Shimono Kazuho then hurriedly sent people to contact Jing Tokutaro with all his might, and at this moment, the units of the Japanese 6th Division that were ambushed on the Qiaogou Gorge and Valley Road east of Pingxingguan had been ambushed by the firepower of the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army on the hills on both sides and suffered heavy casualties.

On the valley road, there are floating corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, and stumps and broken arms are everywhere.

The smoke of the explosion filled the entire Qiaogou Gorge, and the smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and many units of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army gradually lost their formation, and there was chaos.

Due to the narrow valley road of Qiaogou Canyon, there are peaks and peaks on both sides, which is suitable for ambushes.

Although according to Gu Shoufu's order, all units of the Japanese 6th Division retreated in the direction of Pingxingguan, but once more than 20,000 people of a division retreated in a hurry, the narrowness of the terrain made the main force of the Little Devil Division have no formation at all under the fire and ambush of the hills on both sides.

"Bagaya Road, this time my 6th Division actually capsized in the gutter! Damn it! If he commanded one of the two most capable divisions in the Japanese country with heavy casualties, then for Gu Shoufu, even if the main force of the division was safely withdrawn to Pingxingguan, it would be almost visible to get rid of the post of commander of the 6th Division after the war.

The 6th Division of the Japanese Army was ambushed by more than 10,000 people of the Eighth Route Army in the Qiaogou Gorge east of Pingxingguan.

And Naosaburo Okabe, who was also the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army temporarily, did not dare to hide the ambush of the 6th Division, and could only report it to Tada Jun.

Tada Toshi knew that the 6th Division was personally ordered by Hirohito to transfer troops north, and he could only quickly send an urgent telegram to Hirohito in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

"A bunch of rubbish!" After receiving Tada Jun's urgent telegram, after reading the content of the telegram, Hirohito suddenly couldn't help but scold with anger in his heart, and then after scolding, he was so angry that he vomited blood several times.
