In the bunker headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, not far from the Lao Ye Temple, Dongpaochi and other hills, Li Yunlong took a telescope to observe the fierce artillery fire of the vanguard of the Japanese 6th Division that entered the Qiaogou Gorge, but the corners of his mouth were sneering.

"Humph! The 6th Division is still very cautious! Tell Lao Ye Temple that the commanders and fighters who are ambushed on the hills such as Dongpaochi will stabilize me. If any of them are blown out of the trench bunker by the devil's artillery fire, military law will do it. Li Yunlong looked at it for a while, and then waved his hand to let a staff officer in the command command pass the order.

"Yes, Captain."

The staff officer who was called nodded in response, and then hurriedly picked up the field phone to order the commanders and fighters of the various departments who were ambushed in the commanding heights of the mountains such as Lao Ye Temple and Dongpao Pond.

At this time, the artillery reconnaissance of the Japanese vanguard was still continuing, and according to the order of Gu Shoufu, the artillery fire continued to carry out a two-minute rapid attack and artillery bombardment on the hills on both sides of the valley.

At this time, the main force of the 28th Regiment and the main force of the Independent Regiment had been ambushed in the second half of the more than 10-mile-long mountains on both sides of the Qiaogou Gorge under the command of Ding Wei and Kong Jie, respectively.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Huge explosions continued to explode on the hills such as the Lao Ye Temple, and the smoke of artillery fire covered these dangerous hills in an instant.

The two-minute artillery raid and reconnaissance were over, and there was nothing unusual on the hill such as the Lao Ye Temple.

The Japanese commander in charge of artillery reconnaissance sent someone to report to Tani Toshio and ask whether the troops were advancing.

"Yo Xi, order the main force of the division to advance quickly and advance rapidly towards Lingqiu County. Order your troops and stay on alert! "Gu Shoufu got the report of the artillery reconnaissance, combined with the fact that he asked Otani Daisuke to inquire when he rested for half an hour at Pingxing Pass, and immediately waved his hand to order all units of the 6th Division to advance rapidly and pass through the Qiaogou Gorge Ancient Road!

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!"

The chief of staff of the division, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, nodded, and immediately sent someone to order the main force of the division to continue to advance.

All of a sudden, the main force of the mighty Japanese 6th Division marched rapidly along the Qiaogou Gorge ancient road east of Pingxingguan.

It's just that when the 13th Infantry Wing of the 11th Brigade, the vanguard of the 6th Division, recently walked out of the Qiaogou Gorge, it was suddenly startled by a series of violent explosions on the narrow ancient road.

As the commander of the Japanese wing of the 13th Infantry Wing, Matsumoto Lang, saw with his own eyes that he was about to walk out of the Qiaogou Gorge Ancient Road and march towards Lingqiu County, the mountains on both sides of the ancient road were suddenly blocked by boulders that had been blown down.

"Bagaya Road, it's not good, the enemy is attacking, quickly spread out the battle formation and prepare for battle!"

Matsumoto was experienced in battle, and he was immediately terrified, which was blocked by the boulders that had been blown down, and it was clear that there were enemy troops ambushing the hills on both sides of the ancient road. Block the way with boulders, and the ambush fire of the other side will come immediately.

The Japanese infantry who were marching rapidly in a large neat formation were completely blocked by the boulders that suddenly blew down, and quickly stopped their steps, and when the order came, the white ground on the mountains on both sides suddenly opened up the straw mats covering the trenches, etc., and one by one the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army popped out their heads, holding various weapons and shooting fiercely at the unprepared Japanese troops on the ancient road.

"Da !!Da Da

"Boom, boom!!"

......

Bullets and shells poured down violently on the Japanese troops on the valley road, and for a while, the devil team on the march on the ancient road was hit by the fierce gun fire and fell to the ground one by one.

Matsumotoro's eyes cracked, "Yaga Ya Road, hidden, counterattack, counterattack." Hurry up, report to the division commander, the vanguard has been attacked, the enemy firepower is strong, and it is suspected that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is ambushing both sides of the Qiaogou Gorge! You, you, you, and you, command their respective troops to launch a counterattack on the spot, hurry up! ”

"Hello!"

The Japanese officers of the 13th Infantry Wing of the 11th Brigade, who had been flustered for a while, came to their senses one after another and immediately returned to their units to direct the counterattack according to Matsumotoro's order.

At this time, the people who were responsible for commanding the second half of the more than 10-mile-long ambush section of the Qiaogou Gorge were more than 4,000 people of Ding Wei's 28th Regiment and more than 3,000 people of Kong Jie's Independent Regiment.

Under a rapid round of artillery fire, Matsumotoro's 13th Infantry Wing was killed by at least a thousand men in less than ten minutes.

Due to the mountainous peaks on both sides, the terrain was conducive to the ambush of the 28th Regiment and the independent regiment, and the soldiers of the two divisions cooperated with each other to condescend to ambush.

Bursts of gunfire came from the direction of the vanguard of the 6th Division, and Tani Shoufu heard it at the first time.

I saw the old devil Gu Shoufu hurriedly crawling out of the armored car protecting him, at this time the guns of the 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment came, and without waiting for Gu Shoufu to order the Japanese troops to be on alert. The overwhelming artillery fire and bullets suddenly fell from the mountains on both sides of the Qiaogou Gorge.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

"Sudden !!!"

The heavy artillery fire, light and heavy machine gun bullets, and rifle bullets whizzed down, almost killing Tani Shoufu, who crawled out of the armored car to direct the battle, in the first place.

Shimono Kazuho took a few Japanese guards to pounce on Gu Shoufu, pulled Gu Shoufu behind the armored car as soon as possible, and was relieved after beckoning a Japanese Type 94 tank not far behind to protect Gu Shoufu.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have been ambushed. The vanguard sent someone to report that the valley road from Qiaogou Canyon to Lingqiu County was blocked by boulders blown down by the ambushed enemy army. The 13th Infantry Wing suffered heavy casualties and asked for reinforcements! After stabilizing for the time being, Kazuho Shimono soon reported to Gu Shoufu.

Although the men and horses of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army marching around were temporarily beaten into confusion, the 6th Division was worthy of being one of the two divisions that the little devils could fight the most, and they did not need Gu Shoufu's order to find a place to fire and counterattack in accordance with the wartime counterattack.

Gu Shoufu was disgraced by the artillery fire and bullets fired by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army at this time, and his heart was already full of anger, "Bagaya Road, someone actually rushed to ambush himself in Qiaogou Canyon east of Pingxingguan, Bagaya Road!" ”

"Bagaya Road, order all troops to respond in wartime and counterattack on the spot. Shimono-kun, immediately telegraph Daisuke Kotani, the captain of the Heikakan garrison, and let us go east with the 1,000 men left behind for him to attack the enemy army in ambush! Gu Shoufu stabilized his mood and immediately ordered in an orderly manner.

Shimono Yihuo said: "Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" ”。

It's just that when Shimono Kazuho hurriedly found the radio station with the army to send a report to the Japanese army in Pingxingguan, there were soon war reports to Gu Shoufu.
