"Yaga, damn it!"

Ushijima was full of indignation, he didn't expect the strength of the opponent's stubborn resistance to be so strong, and he was stunned to stop his combined attack with a whole wing and an infantry brigade.

"Order the attacking forces to retreat and temporarily stop the offensive. Chief of staff! Seeing this, Ushijima knew that if he continued to attack, he would only be able to become the target of the opponent's firepower, so he would retreat for a while to take a breath, so he waved his hand to the chief of staff on the side, Uenoji, and said.

Ueno immediately paused: "Hai, brigade commander!" Then he sent someone to report to Gu Shoufu urgently.

After sending someone to contact Tani, Ushijima Mitsuru picked up the binoculars again to observe the retreat of his troops, and was very worried. Once the attack really fails, in this kind of narrow terrain and ravine, the troops of the 6th Division will easily be divided and surrounded by the other side and eaten little by little!

At this time, in the middle of the Qiaogou Gorge, in the temporary field headquarters of the 6th Division, Gu Shoufu's eyes were solemn, and the binoculars in his hand were close to the mountains on both sides of the valley from time to time to observe the Japanese attack on the mountain.

The area around the temporary field headquarters of the 6th Division was full of explosive fire, and the sound of gunfire was gradually approaching his headquarters.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, Ushijima Mitsuru sent someone to report that the attack was unfavorable, and the 23rd Wing suffered more than half of the casualties. An infantry brigade drawn from the 45th Wing also suffered heavy casualties. The enemy soldiers in the blocking positions of the Chinese troops on the valley road blocking our approach to Pingxingguan were very tenacious and had great firepower. The 36 Brigade requests tactical guidance! ”

When Gu Shoufu's brows were furrowed, the chief of staff of the division, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, walked quickly to the old devil's side and said in a low and solemn voice.

"Nani? What the hell did Mitsuru Ushijima do? Can't thousands of the elite of the imperial army rush through? "Gu Shoufu couldn't believe that the enemy positions that were blown up by the artillery fire there in the direction of Ushijima were thick and full of smoke, and he couldn't take the enemy's blocking position?

Shimono Yihuo smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency Division Commander, the terrain of Qiaogou Canyon itself is narrow, and the road built on the valley road can only allow one vehicle to pass!" Under such terrain conditions, it is very suitable to build a temporary blocking position on the valley road, and the time is fast. But for the attack of thousands of our imperial soldiers, there are not many soldiers who can line up and charge on the general side, and they can only attack in the form of pig bursts. But under the narrow terrain, the opponent's firepower is swept away into a large area, Your Excellency the division commander. ”

"Baga, damn it! Shimono-kun, not now. The Eighth Route Army, which ambushed us, was definitely the main force of at least one division of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, under these terrain conditions, the various units of our 6th Division could not give full play to the strength they should have in the field. Ordered Ushijima to continue to storm the enemy's blocking positions at all costs. Tell Ushijima that in less than ten minutes, the fighters of the 5th Air Force will fly over here for air cover bombing! ”

Gu Shoufu also had no choice, and if he did not continue to implement this strategy of strong attack, then the 6th Division could only be trapped in the more than ten miles long valley road in the Qiaogou Gorge, divided and surrounded by the ambushed Chinese army, and annihilated and eaten one by one.

Only by concentrating elite troops to rush out of the opponent's ambush and move closer to Pingxingguan can there be a glimmer of life!

Shimono Yihuo naturally knew that Gu Shoufu's words were right, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Haiyi, Your Excellency the division commander, I understand." ”。

Subsequently, Shimono Kazuho hurriedly sent a herald to deliver the order to Ushijima Man, and at this time, the telephone contact between the temporary field headquarters of the 6th Division and the various departments had been completely cut off. After all, the artillery fire around was very fierce, and even the telephone lines connecting the Japanese troops were too late, so they could only send messengers to deliver orders.

At this time, when Gu Shoufu urgently ordered Ushijima to strengthen the offensive, Li Yunlong commanded a new regiment, and together with Ding Wei's 28th Regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment, began to attack all units of the Japanese 6th Division.

According to the results reported by the various units, at this time, the various units achieved a total of about 7,000 devil soldiers killed by the Japanese army.

"Okay, order Zhang Dabiao and the others to block Ushijima's offensive for me." Li Yunlong laughed and looked at the explosive flames on the Qiaogou Canyon Road, and waved his hand when he heard the latest results of the various departments reported by the staff officers of the field command.

"Yes, Captain." The staff officer of the field headquarters stood up and saluted, then quickly turned around and walked to the table on the side of the headquarters, picked up the field phone and notified Zhang Dabiao and the others.

At this time, more than 10 fighters of the 5th Air Brigade of the Japanese Army that had taken off from Taiyuan Airport were already roaring, and the troops of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, which had received the help of the fighters, were suddenly greatly boosted.

"Shoot in the air, hit me hard!" Li Yunlong sneered at the command headquarters at the Japanese fighter planes roaring in the sky, and calmly waved his hand to the staff officer on the side.

At the moment when the devil fighter plane was dispatched, Li Yunlong had already ordered Wang Chengzhu to mobilize most of the light and heavy machine guns, as well as several anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, to prepare for firing in the air.

Once the devil fighter plane arrived over the Qiaogou Gorge and bombed at a low altitude, the anti-aircraft fire on the ground would open fierce fire to strike.

Sure enough, the Japanese fighters soon did as Li Yunlong expected. All sorties were fighter jets, carrying several aerial bombs under the belly of the aircraft to bomb.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da!"

Under the watchful eye of Gu Shoufu, the Japanese fighters roared and divided into two teams to fiercely resist and strafe the positions of the Eighth Route Army ambushed on the mountains on both sides of the Qiaogou Gorge.

It's just that before the devils finished fighting, in the process of low-flying strafing, I saw that the roaring fighter plane was suddenly crossed by the bullets of the anti-aircraft fire of the Eighth Route Army ambushed on the ambush position, and the number exploded on the spot.

There were only more than a dozen fighters in the 6th Division reinforced by the little devils, and at least three of them were killed by the anti-aircraft fire on the ground in less than ten seconds, which immediately made Gu Shoufu, who was observing the reinforcement of Japanese fighters in the Qiaogou Gorge, stunned.

"Yaga, how is that possible?" Gu Shoufu was surprised, only to see in his telescope that several Japanese fighters were hit by the anti-aircraft fire on the ground and exploded in the air during the low-altitude strafing, and they were planted on the ground.

Not good, the Chinese army seems to know the intelligence that the Imperial fighters are coming to help, and they are ready to ambush the ground anti-aircraft fire in advance.

Sure enough, without waiting for Gu Shoufu to contact the Japanese fighters who came to help, only a few waves of anti-aircraft fire hit, and the Japanese troops who came to help were knocked out by at least half of the anti-aircraft fire of the Eighth Route Army on the ground. The remaining half of the Japanese fighters were frightened by the anti-aircraft fire of the Eighth Route Army on the ground, and they fled, regardless of the contact with Gu Shoufu, and Gu Shoufu scolded in his own division headquarters.

And the battle continued, after the Japanese fighters fled, the chief of staff of the division, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, once again reported the losses of each division to Gu Shoufu, "Your Excellency the division commander, according to the battle losses from the various divisions, our 6th Division has been annihilated by the ambushed Chinese army!" ”。
