"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 11th Infantry Wing has suffered heavy casualties. The enemy troops in ambush were definitely regular units of the Chinese army, and their combat effectiveness was very strong. Moreover, at least a dozen mountain guns and at least fifteen or so mortars continued to bombard the ravine. There were also more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, and the soldiers on the ancient road marching to the gorge of Chuqiaogou were hit by ambush fire and suffered heavy casualties. Now, the 11th Infantry Wing has suffered at least two thousand casualties. ”

In less than ten minutes, Gu Shoufu, who had temporarily set up a bunker headquarters to coordinate the counterattack of all units of the 6th Division, quickly received the battle situation from the front.

The violent gunfire of the thunderbolt bar all confirmed the words of the Japanese herald who came to report the situation, which made Gu Shoufu calm down from the initial panic, and then gradually began to be solemn again.

Such fierce artillery fire and the constant whizzing of light and heavy machine gun bullets show that the opponent's strength is at least more than 10,000 people. Moreover, the weapons and equipment were not weaker than those of the 6th Division, and Gu Shoufu wondered for a moment, whose troops dared to ambush the 6th Division, the most elite field division in the empire?

"Yaga Ya Road, Matsumoto Lang this waste. Ordered the 11th Infantry Wing to build fortifications on the spot to counterattack, and ordered the 47th Infantry Wing to spread out on both flanks and launch a fierce attack on the enemy troops lying in ambush on the hills on both sides. Although Gu Shoufu was puzzled, he was confident that the combat effectiveness of the 6th Division would not be defeated by the other party in a short period of time, so he calmly waved his hand and ordered.

The Japanese herald immediately paused and said, "Hai, Your Excellency the division commander!" He then galloped away and braved the ambush fire of the Eighth Route Army to convey the order to the 47th Infantry Wing.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was standing at the ambush headquarters, heard the artillery fire from the second half of the ambush hill in Baiyatai and other places, and quickly ordered all the headquarters of the new regiment near the side of Pingxingguan to start the ambush.

All of a sudden, the 6th Division was cut off by the new 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment.

"Boom, boom! Boom Boom! ”

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! ”

......

Rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery, and field artillery immediately launched the first attack on the baggage units of the Japanese 6th Division on the march in Qiaogou Gorge. In particular, Li Yunlong immediately ordered the artillery of Wang Chengzhu's command post to use mountain artillery and two guns that had been transported to a hill on the side of the ambush mountain with great difficulty, and to attack the artillery of the Japanese army's baggage troops with condescending key artillery fire.

"Target Japanese baggage troops, bombard with all your might, kill!" On one side of the mountain, after Wang Chengzhu personally observed the artillery positions of the baggage units of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army in the Qiaogou Gorge, he immediately commanded the artillery to launch a fierce artillery bombardment.

Under the operation of the artillery fighters, the two howitzers that had been transported to the ambush position with great difficulty, after firing with a bang, the shells whistled and smashed into the Japanese artillery unit that was unfolding in the Qiaogou Gorge.

The 6th Division was dispatched this time, and the main force of the division was 36 mountain guns and 12 120mm howitzers. Seeing that they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, the artillery unit of the little devil was ready to launch artillery fire to cover the Japanese infantry attacking the mountain.

It's just that Wang Chengzhu's movements were faster, and before the devil commander of the little devil artillery wing commanded the artillery to launch a counterattack, the artillery fire of the new regiment roared and smashed all over the sky.

As bursts of violent explosions exploded in the Japanese artillery wing, the Japanese artillery that had not had time to deploy was blown up and more than 10 guns were blown up on the spot.

At least five of the howitzers were blown up and reduced to original parts on the spot, and the commander of the Japanese artillery wing, who was under heavy artillery fire, was frightened to find a place to hide.

"Okay, Wang Chengzhu, this kid played well!" Li Yunlong, who was holding a telescope to Qiaogou Canyon to observe the fierce battle, laughed and smashed his fist on the sandbag bunker in front of him.

At this time, Ding Wei's 28th Regiment and the independent regiment commanded by Kong Jie had completely blocked the 6th Division's attempt to move closer to Lingqiu County.

Due to the steep terrain of Qiaogou Canyon, which is conducive to ambushes, on the Qiaogou Canyon Ancient Road, which is more than ten miles long, the Japanese troops of the 6th Division were divided and ambushed by Li Yunlong and others, and cut off several sections. As a result, the more than 22,000 people of the 6th Division commanded by Gu Shoufu were all divided at the first time, and they could not take care of each other.

Major General Tokutaro, the commander of the Japanese brigade who commanded the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division, watched with hatred as an infantry brigade of the 47th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which had just attacked less than 30 meters in front of Baiyatai, was repulsed, and was still embarrassed, and he suddenly burst out and cursed.

"Bagaya Road, a bunch of rubbish! Tell Saburo Takashima what his 47 Infantry Wing is for? Just now I laughed at the 13th Infantry Wing, Bagaya Road. If he can't take the mountain of White Cliff Tower, he Takashima Saburo will commit suicide by disembowelment, thank His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Tokutaro Ii waved his hand and ordered a Japanese staff officer in the brigade.

"Understood, Your Excellency Brigade Commander!" The staff officer of the brigade is also quite helpless, under the current conditions, the front of Baiyatai is snow-capped, the ground is full of snow, and Baiyatai is the commanding height of the mountain.

The opponent condescended to strike with firepower, and the Japanese troops on the ancient road of Qiaogou Gorge were unobstructed and hidden, and even if there were, they were very few. A brigade of nearly 8,000 men crammed into a narrow valley road, although it quickly formed a formation to launch a counterattack against the Chinese troops ambushed in the mountains on both sides.

However, under the unfavorable terrain, the Japanese soldiers who attacked the hill on their backs were also miserable by the condescending fire of the other side, and suffered heavy casualties.

If it were to face each other in a field battle in an open field, the 6th Division would be able to penetrate the opponent with a single charge. Not now!

Although Tokutaro Ide sternly ordered Takashima Saburo of the 47th Infantry Wing to supervise his troops to storm the commanding heights of the mountains such as Baiyatai, the soldiers of the independent regiment guarding Baiyatai under the command of Kong Jie fiercely counterattacked with their weapons and equipment.

In particular, the new regiment successively defeated the 20,000 Japanese troops commanded by Yoshio Shinozuka and captured a large number of weapons and equipment, grain, grass and ammunition, and Li Yunlong gave most of them to the troops of Ding Wei and Kong Jie. So that the soldiers of the two men and horses of the 28th Regiment of the Independent Regiment in ambush at this time are no weaker than the little devils in their weapons, equipment and ammunition.

The little devils of the 47th Infantry Wing of the 11th Brigade Regiment in the onslaught still couldn't take the commanding heights such as the White Cliff Platform with the continuous charge of one infantry brigade after another.

On the contrary, under the blows of the ambushed 28 regiment and the independent regiment, there were heavy casualties. Among them, the 13th Infantry Wing, which was ambushed for the first time, had already suffered more than half of the casualties at this time, and only more than 2,000 people remained. After five or six minutes of attacking Baiyatai and other hills, the 47th Infantry Wing dropped at least 1,000 corpses.

In less than half an hour, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, which was ambushed, lost 3,000 men and horses at the headquarters of the 11th Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army under the command of Tokutaro I, and nearly one infantry wing was killed.
