The Maruyama detachment captured Mahuiling on September 3, in order to avoid the fourth, sixty-fourth and eighteenth armies being copied by the devils, Xue Yue had no choice but to let them withdraw their troops, and the 106th Division finally advanced to Mahuiling.

And Qin Tian withdrew to the Wanjialing area with the Qingtian Army, he really tried to reduce the losses of the Guo army, but the Guo army officers did not listen to dissuasion at all, and wanted to recapture the lost position without taking any advantage, so the consequence was to increase the casualties and give the Maruyama detachment a big advantage.

This battle made Qin Tian very regretful, because he worked so hard and did not change everything, and through this time, he also had a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of the fruit army.

Qi Rui saw Qin Tian sullenly and persuaded: "Big brother, don't be depressed!" We don't seem to be able to change anything at all! ”

"Yes! Eldest brother! These hundreds of us are almost like ants in the face of an army of tens of thousands of devils, and we will be wiped out if we run slowly! Er Feng also persuaded,

"Big brother, so many fruit armies can't resist it! We can't do it anymore! Wu Tianzong also said,

"If you want me to say, it's time to fight with the devil! If we occupy a favorable terrain, we may be able to kill a lot of devils! Bai Tong (Xiangxi bandits) said very angrily,

Xin Yu and the others who shouted from Yu Su felt that Qin Tian was nothing more than that, because when he saw the devil, he only knew how to run, and he had never seen him fight with the devil at all.

"Look at what you can! You should be able to stop the army of devils by occupying a favorable terrain alone! The monk said unhappily,

"Bai Tong! Don't talk nonsense! Can't you see the speed of the devil's march, don't say that the devil has a three-way army marching together, even if we bite all the way in the middle, we may be wiped out! There is nothing wrong with Brother Qin's decision! We're not yet at the time to fight the devil to the death! Yu Su hurriedly reprimanded,

"Brother Yu! There are so many devils that we don't fight but run, right? Bai Tong asked unconvinced,

"Of course it's right! No matter how many devils there are, they are not puppets! How many can you kill? Your marksmanship is good! Devil's poor marksmanship? In the end, you won't be shot to death by the devils! Yu Su said,

"That's it! Old than! Stop it! Qin Tian stopped Yu Su and said to everyone: "This time, you should realize how strong the combat effectiveness of the devil veterans of the A Division is!" The Maruyama detachment suffered very little losses all the way, but on the other hand, the fruit army suffered more than 1,000 casualties in a few battles, this is the gap! ”

Qin Tian opened his mouth and everyone shut up, and he continued: "In addition! I want to make it clear to you that we are not here to fight the devil this time, we just want to remind the Guo army that there are devils coming from Minshan! Now our mission is accomplished! Although the result is unsatisfactory, it is also stronger than the back road of the fruit army being overtaken by the devil! ”

"Big brother! They don't know the battlefield yet! Don't blame them! Yu Su said apologetically,

"It's a good thing that they want to kill devils! How could I blame them! It's just that we can only continue to attack the devils by sniping in the future, hoping to lure them out! "Qin Tian thought about it and couldn't think of any good way to deal with the devil,

"Brother Qin! No matter what, it's good to be able to kill devils! Achu heard that he could go and snipe the devil and said,

"Little God! We've only fought one battle! Is there still a chance? "The Qingtian Army brought by Tan Xue, Si Wen and the Royal Forest Army have only fought one battle here, and the rest is tossed back and forth.

"Yes! Didn't I say before that we're not leaving until October! Now we are on the front line! Of course, there is still a chance! Don't worry, everyone! There shouldn't be any military action in the 106th Division of the devil in the next few days, let's attack and disturb them first, and then we will find an opportunity when they continue to attack! Qin Tian said,

"Everyone! We're here to pick up the slack! It's like one can kill seven and kill eight! So all listen to Brother Qin! Anyone who is not satisfied can leave! Yuan Lang saw that there were still people among the Hunan bandits who were not convinced and said,

Yu Su didn't allow the Xiang bandits to speak, and then took them all aside to educate, Qin Tian believed him, so he asked everyone to rest, and he thought about what to do next.

I thought I would be able to show my strength here, but now I realize that it is not at all what I imagined, the combat effectiveness of the devil is really strong, and the combat effectiveness of the Maruyama detachment is enough to explain everything.

This battle made Xue Yue very angry, because the Maruyama detachment was only a brigade, and he sent the most capable 74th Army, plus the assistance of Wang Lingji's 32nd Group Army, he wanted to eat this detachment, but the result was that his own losses were not small and he was forced to retreat the defensive line.

"Commander! If we had listened to Qin Tian's words and prepared early, we would not have had such a situation! The chief of staff said,

"What's the use of talking about that now! Let's think about how to fight next! Xue Yue also thought of Qin Tian at this moment, why could he see that the Maruyama detachment in Ruichang would come diagonally from Minshan, and also went to block the detachment's marching speed in advance, but unfortunately his own reaction was too slow! Thinking of this, he was even more angry with Wang Lingji's Thirty Group Army, complaining that they would be defeated with one blow and not buying time for reinforcements, and the more Xue Yue thought about it, the more angry he became, so he sued Wang Lingji.

After that, Xue Yue sent someone to find Si Wen and asked her to bring Qin Tian to the headquarters, Qin Tian came to the headquarters, this time he only saw Xue Yue alone, it seems that this commander wants to talk to him alone.

"Brother Qin! This time the 30th Army is really hateful! If it weren't for them, they wouldn't be able to stop the Maruyama detachment! We wouldn't be where we are now! Xue Yue snorted and said,

"Commander Xue! Now that things are like this, let's think about the next battle! Qin Tian persuaded,

"Does Brother Qin have any tricks?"

Qin Tian looked at the sand table and pointed to Baishui Street and said, "Which army of devils is most likely to be attacked here?" ”

Xue Yue immediately replied, "Honma Masaharu's 27th Division! ”

"Commander! I thought that in a few days, the 106th Division would continue to move south along the Nanxun Railway, and if the 27th Division of Baishui Street was led to the area of Qixi and Tianhe Bridge...... "Qin Tian said this, let Xue Yue think for himself.

"The 106th Division is alone! We can wipe them all out here in Wanjialing! Xue Yue looked at the map and said excitedly, he had thought about the movement of the devil before, the 106th Division would definitely continue to go south, he just didn't expect to lure the 27th Division away, if Qin Tian's statement came true, then it was absolutely possible to eliminate the 106th Division.

"Commander Xue! What you're best at is a break-and-go siege! As long as the 106th Division enters Wanjialing! Fourth Army! The Seventy-fourth Army, the Eighteenth Army and other combat units in the surrounding area ......" Qin Tian said half of his words again,

This was originally a tactic formulated by Xue Yue himself, but now the situation has not yet formed, Qin Tian is just to give him a wake-up, but there is an important point here, that is, Honma Masaharu of the 27th Division changed Okamura Ningji's battle plan without authorization to help Xue Yue, because this division should have ensured that the 106th Division was planned in Baishui Street, and Honma Masaharu wanted to take revenge because of the big loss suffered at Qilin Peak, so he took the 27th Division to attack Tianhe Bridge and Qixi Town, which really made the 106th Division a lone army.

Xue Yue couldn't help but nod his head, he already had a comprehensive battle plan in his mind at the moment, and asked eagerly: "Brother Qin!" Would you like to stay? ”

"Commander Xue! I'm not suitable to stay in the army, and even if I don't say it, once the 106th Division enters Wanjialing alone, you will definitely think of this tactic! I just wanted to remind the Commander one more time! Let the departments fight more resolutely! Try not to give up halfway! ”

The 106th Division was not completely annihilated in the Battle of Wanjialing, and after the siege was lifted, there were still more than 7,000 devils alive, including the division commander Junrokuro Matsuura, and no more than 5,000 devils died before and after.

Xue Yue wanted to leave Qin Tian as a staff officer, but Qin Tian refused to leave with Si Wen, everything that should be said was said, and what should be reminded was also reminded, Qin Tian wanted to take the Qingtian Army to exercise well.

In the next 20 days, Qin Tian led the Qingtian Army and snipers to constantly harass the 106th Division, and finally forced all the devil officers to change into soldiers' uniforms, and even the patrol team did not dare to send it, and the bright post was replaced by a dark sentry, even if he wanted to move, he did not dare to straighten his waist and raise his head, for fear of being sniped by snipers hiding in the shadows.

On 25 September, the 106th Division finally began to operate, and they were divided into three routes, the first route led by the brigade commander Seiichi Aoki, the second route was the mountain troops, and the third route was the main force of the 106th Division.

On 27 September, the Fourth Army discovered the enemy's situation and exchanged fire with the Chichuan Brigade of the Aoki Brigade in the area of Baishui Street, and after many investigations, Xue Yue determined that the 106th Division had really entered Wanjialing alone, so he immediately reported the battle plan that had been prepared long ago, and Lao Chiang was also quite excited when he saw the battle plan, and immediately approved and telegraphed to the commander-in-chief Chen Cheng: "We should take advantage of the victory to attack, save the situation, and strive to do our best, and the 9th Theater then commands other troops to carry out coordinated operations." ”

Xue Yue's operational plan of "breaking the line and encircling and attacking" immediately began to be implemented, and he urgently transferred 15,000 troops to assemble at Wanjialing, and told the commanders of all combat units: "The enemy's 106th Division in Songpu has a very strong spirit of drilling through the gaps, and has broken through to the depth of our Baiyun Mountain. Our corps plans to draw a large army to annihilate the enemy who has broken through to the rear area! ”

Under Xue Yue's order, the combat units of the First Corps began to assemble in their own combat areas, Qin Tian took the Qingtian Army near Baishui Street, and he had already locked the target of the attack, that is, the 52nd Mountain Artillery Wing and the First Mortar Brigade of the Aoki Brigade, these two combat units were the most lethal to the Guo Army, and Qin Tian planned to find a way to kill them.
