That night, Li Hong set off with the first and fifth battalions.

The temporary station of the security regiment was only about 30 kilometers away from the Qilin Peak position, and the troops of the security regiment advanced at a rapid marching speed.

When the security regiment marched towards Qilin Peak, Okamura Ninji gave the 27th Division another order to increase troops to Qilin Peak.

Okamura Ninji successively issued orders to increase troops, mainly because the 106th Division lost the Zhanggushan position, which made him realize that the situation on the battlefield was not good.

The 106th Division was in danger, which made Okamura Ninji even more anxious, so he could only let the reinforcements quickly open a breakthrough to rescue the 106th Division.

After receiving an order from Okamura Ninji, the commander of the 27th Division sent an infantry brigade and a machine gun brigade to reinforce it, and the Tokugawa detachment was newly formed.

The 34th Wing and the 60th Division suffered five or six hundred casualties in a fierce battle, and with the addition of reinforcements, the newly formed Tokugawa Detachment had about 5,000 men.

Although the Japanese army numbered only about 5,000 men, they were well-armed and had a very large number of artillery.

……

Two hours later, Li Hong led his troops to the Qilin Peak position.

Yang Rui, the commander of the 60th Division, saw Li Hong coming and personally rushed to greet Li Hong and them.

"Senior Commander Yang, I am ordered by Chief Xue to reinforce Qilin Peak!"

Li Hong and Yang Rui saluted each other, and the two talked as they walked.

"Thank you for the reinforcements." Yang Rui thanked Li Hong, and then said: "The Japanese firepower is indeed too fierce, one of my divisions has suffered more than half of the casualties, if you don't reinforce, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers of the 60th Division will be wiped out......

Li Hong said to Yang Rui: "Senior Commander Yang, hand over the Qilin Peak position to me, you 60th Senior Brothers can go down to rest!" ”

Yang Rui nodded and suggested: "Commander Li, although the officers and soldiers of our 60th Division have suffered heavy casualties, we can stay and cooperate with you in defense, what do you see?" ”

"Senior Commander Yang, don't worry about the position to us!" Li Hong said indifferently.

Seeing that Li Hong was so confident, Yang Rui asked curiously, "Captain Li, how many people have you brought?" ”

"There are not many people, I only brought two battalions."

"What? Only two battalions? Yang Rui looked at Li Hong in shock: "Commander Li, the Japanese army is very strong, you only have two battalions, this is too ......"

Yang Rui knew that the security regiment was very strong, but how could only two battalions resist the wolf-like Japanese wing?

"Commander Yang, there are no more soldiers, and then you are fine!" Li Hong said with a smile: "Commander Yang, don't worry, fighting is not child's play, it is enough for me to have two battalions to resist the Japanese army!" ”

"Okay, the position is handed over to you, Commander Li......"

After speaking, the two saluted each other to complete the handover of positions.

The officers and men of the 60th Division quickly withdrew from their positions, and the officers and men of the 1st and 5th Battalions of the Security Regiment entered the positions for defense.

When the 60th Division withdrew, Li Hong gave a lot of medicines and supplies to the officers and men of the 60th Division.

After taking over the position, Li Hong sent special combat soldiers to the devil's camp to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

Then, he led his subordinates into the shelter of the position to study the battle.

"Tuanza, the Qilin Peak position has been occupied by the Japanese army for two-thirds, and this blocking battle is probably not easy to defend." Zhou Wenxun continued: "We have two battalions to defend, and many weapons and equipment cannot be used to give full play to their advantages. ”

Immediately, Hu Bald pointed to the map and said: "Tuanza, our two battalions are guarding such a small position, and the officers and soldiers on the front line have very little access to the dangerous terrain, and the Japanese artillery fire and aircraft will cause us a lot of casualties......

Hu Bald and Zhou Wenxun talked about some of the problems they are currently facing.

Li Hong studied the map for a while, and said lightly: "I didn't say that we would defend the Qilin Peak position, our weapons and equipment are stronger than the little devils, Lao Tzu will not be so stupid to fight a positional defense battle with the enemy." ”

"What do you mean?" The two looked at Li Hong in confusion.

At this moment, the soldiers of the special operations team sent out to reconnoiter back.

"Report to the regimental seat, we have reconnoitred the surrounding Japanese positions, the Japanese army is gathering troops, and the Japanese army has also increased reinforcements."

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Li Hong quickly thought that the Japanese army might attack at night.

"The little devil reinforcements are here, and they seem to be preparing to attack at night!"

After Li Hong finished speaking, he quickly ordered the artillery unit to speed up the establishment of artillery positions, and at the same time, he ordered the soldiers who occupied the positions to withdraw from their positions.

"The regimental seats, the officers and soldiers on the positions have withdrawn, so how can we hold the attacking Japanese army?" Zhou Wenxun looked at Li Hong incomprehensibly.

Li Hong asked the troops to withdraw, mainly because of the casualties.

The positions guarded by the security regiment were only a few kilometres in range and very little use of the terrain.

Once the Japanese army attacked, it would definitely be covered by artillery fire, and the officers and men of the security regiment would cause considerable casualties.

Besides, Li Hong's tactics are not guards, he will not be stupid enough to stay on the ground and let the little devils fire and planes abuse him.

Li Hong pointed to a mountain road near Qilin Peak and explained: "Look at this mountain road, the Japanese army wants to reinforce the 106th Division after breaking through Qilin Peak, this is the only way for little devils, we can ambush here." ”

When the subordinates saw the route on the map, they all immediately understood.

Anyway, the purpose of the security regiment is to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army, as long as the two Japanese forces are prevented from converging, they can fight as much as they want.

Li Hong has always played his cards according to routines, and if a unit wants to win a battle, in addition to the combat effectiveness of weapons and equipment, it also needs the commander to use some flexible tactics.

Less than half an hour later, all two battalions of the regiment were evacuated.

After the two battalions withdrew, Li Hong ordered them to lay an ambush on both sides of the mountain road a few kilometers away and establish defensive positions in advance.

……

After the devil troops were assembled, the various departments reported to Tokugawa Sukeo.

"Captain, the attacking force has been assembled!"

Sukeo Tokugawa is now the acting detachment leader, and the command of the 34th Wing, as well as the command of the newly arrived reinforcements, are in his hands.

"Yo Xi, attack now!"

"Ha Yi !!"

The devil officers received the order to attack and immediately ordered the troops to attack on all fronts.

The Japanese artillery units concentrated all their artillery and at the same time carried out artillery shelling of the positions at the front.

"Tom, tom, tom!!"

"Tom, tom, tom......"

The silence of the night was broken by the continuous sound of shelling.

I saw that the shells in the darkness flew out one after another with flames, and smashed into the distant position.

The enemy's artillery was quite numerous, at least thirty or forty guns, so many guns were fired together, and the artillery fire directly covered the position.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Violent explosions rang out, and the positions were filled with fire.

Dense artillery shells flew down like a sea of shells, and the bunkers and fortifications on the positions were torn apart by the shells, and many fortifications collapsed one after another.
