Chapter 6: The Ballad of the Great Wall (Part 4)

With visceral contempt, several Japanese spies gathered together the information they had gathered over the past few days. In the dead of night, a portable transmitter was used to send it to the Chinese Front Army Headquarters of the devil overnight.

The work efficiency of the Chinese Front Army Command of the devil is much higher than that of the commander of China's Second Theater Yan Xishan, and half an hour after receiving the telegram, it sent a telegram back and forth. Several spies were greatly commended for their contributions to the Empire, while emphasizing that the intelligence gathering efforts in recent days have focused on the deployment and movement of Chinese troops on the front line of Niangziguan, and do not have to take care of anything else. Yuichi Akita, who had participated in the Tohoku Incident, was in charge, and others must fully assist.

Seeing the message from his boss, the face of the "wool dealer" Nobutaka Kimura instantly turned dark. After pondering for a long time, he handed over the message to a few accomplices, and came to the "needle dealer" Yuichi Akita who had been reprimanded by him before, and bowed to the ground, "Akita-kun, it was my arrogance and offense in the afternoon, and I ask Akita-kun not to mind!" ”

In the blink of an eye, he trampled his competitors under his feet, and Yuichi Akita was so proud in his heart. With a generous gesture on his face, he stretched out his hand to help, "It's okay, Kimura-kun is also for the empire!" Don't worry, I won't report your words this afternoon! ”

"Thank you, Akita-kun for your generosity!" Nobutaka Kimura bowed again ninety degrees, knocking on the bricks and nails.

"Kimura-kun doesn't have to be polite, as long as we work together to complete the tasks assigned above. There are some small sections that I will never remember!! Yuichi Akita gave him another false support, holding up the general's belly that had not yet grown to encourage.

"The villain has a will!" Several other spies secretly pouted, but did not dare to show their inner thoughts on their faces. The spy department has always been the most hierarchical place, and if they dare to show any objection to the arrangement from above, I am afraid that it will not be long before the family will receive a death notice.

Yuichi Akita doesn't care what several other accomplices think, he finally got the opportunity to perform, if he doesn't take the opportunity to make some impressive achievements, how can he be worthy of the military that supports him? That night, he made a new arrangement and assigned tasks to other spies based on his experience in dealing with the Northeast Army that year.

Several spies have been lurking in Shanxi for several years, both in the Jin Sui army and within the Shanxi provincial government, and many downlines have been developed. After receiving the task assigned by Yuichi Akita, he made some efforts and soon recovered a large amount of important military information. In the blink of an eye, this information turned into a telegram, which was quietly sent to the Chinese Front Headquarters of the devil in an inconspicuous small village in Niangzi Pass.

On the morning of October 9, Feng Qinzai brought his soldiers to the battlefield. According to the local people, in order to save costs, cement was not used to reinforce the ......."

"On October 10, Huang Shaohong, deputy commander of the Second Theater Command on the Chinese side, inspected the front line. This person was born in the Gui family, and is currently the chairman of Hubei Province, who is good at pre-war staff work, but he has little experience in commanding major battles, and he does not have any commendable achievements! According to reliable eyeliner, Zhao Zhenshan, the commander of the 17th Division, complained to Huang Shaohong in person, saying that Feng Qinya could not be contacted......"

Huang Shaohong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the front line of Niangzi Pass. He set up his headquarters in Xiapanshi and transferred the special service regiment of the 26th Route Army to protect his headquarters! According to reliable information, the officers and men of the secret service group are dissatisfied with this order! ”

Zeng Wanzhong, the commander of the Third Army, and Zhao Shoushan, commander of the 17th Division, had a dispute over the division of their respective defense areas. Huang Shaohong appeased both sides! ”

"Huang Shaohong invited Feng Qinya to meet at the command post, but Feng Qinya did not accept the invitation, and only sent a colonel brigade commander to represent himself to Huang's headquarters!"

"According to reliable sources, the 30th and 31st Divisions of the First Army of the Second Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army are making a detour to Niangzi Pass. The two divisions, the 30th Division, the 31st Division, which had confronted the Empire in the Liangxiang area last month, had just changed their names. Half of the team is a recruit pulled up by Sun Lianzhong near Handan, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to last month! ”

The 27th Division of the National Revolutionary Army and Sun Lianzhong himself also made a detour to Niangzi Pass. The strength of this division is basically intact, equipped with a large number of German weapons, and its combat effectiveness is very strong! ”

"Reliable Relationships Reveal ......"

"According to the ...... of the Army's eyeliner"

With the cooperation of the traitors, several Japanese spies disguised as traders knew better than most of the defending generals about the deployment and deployment of the Chinese army near Niangzi Pass! It is even specific to the name of the commander of a certain regiment or battalion, its combat capabilities and its previous combat achievements. China's Second Theater Command, on the other hand, was unaware of the spies' actions.

This made the devil's actions more and more secretive, and on the evening of October 12, its vanguard had just broken through the well. In the early morning of the 13th, they unexpectedly attacked the intersection of the defense area of the Third Army and the 17th Division of the National Revolutionary Army. It only took one charge to get the old pass in his hands.

As soon as the pass was lost, a big hole was immediately poked out of the defense line of Niangzi Pass. Groups of devils are constantly marching in the direction of the old pass, and they may come to roll up the reed mat at any time to outflank several Chinese troops near Niangzi Pass. Huang Shaohong, the commander-in-chief of the Niangziguan defense line, the deputy commander of the Second Theater Command, the boss of the Gui department, and the chairman of Hubei Province, who was temporarily driven to the shelves, and did not even know how many troops there were under his command, was immediately dumbfounded, and called Zeng Wanzhong, the commander of the Third Army, without even thinking about it, and ordered him to immediately block the hole within one day, otherwise, military law would be involved.

Zeng Wanzhong didn't expect that the little devil would attack his side first, and immediately personally led his brothers to launch a counterattack against Guguan. However, the equipment of the Third Army was really backward, and the brothers did not even have a few heavy machine guns in their hands, let alone any mountain artillery and field artillery, so they could only hold the old sleeve that had been used for nearly 20 years and pile up the corpses on top of it.

In just one day, nearly 2,000 brothers of the Third Army were spilled on the battlefield. Instead of being successfully forced out of their hometown, the little devils took advantage of the weak attack of the Third Army to tear a new breakthrough in their defensive line.

Forcibly rushing through the defense line of the Third Army, the vanguard of the devils swooped down on Panshi, the former enemy headquarters of the Chinese army. At the most dangerous moment, there were only a dozen miles left from Huang Shaohong. Thanks to Hou Jingru, the 30th Division of the 26th Route Army, he arrived in time and led a brigade of brothers who had been improvised to launch a counterattack against the Japanese invaders, and only then did he reluctantly push the little devil back to the vicinity of the old pass.

Huang Shaohong was completely stunned, slapped his head a few times, and then came up with a "clever plan" to surround Wei and save Zhao. Zhao Shoushan, who ordered to defend the front of Niangzi Pass, immediately took the initiative to attack, attacked Jingcheng by surprise, and attacked the Japanese and saved. Zhao Shoushan acted according to the strategy, and overnight Lianke Liujiagou, Changshengkou and Jingcheng Nanguan Station. When he was about to launch the final blow to Jingcheng Pass, bad news came from the rear, the main position of Xuehua Mountain was lost, and Niangzi Pass was in danger.

I wanted to cut off the devil's back road, but I didn't expect my back road to be cut by the little devil. Zhao Shoushan was shocked, and hurriedly led his brothers to turn around and retreat, until he retreated to the Donkey Ridge, and then reluctantly rebuilt the defense line with the terrain.

The terrain of Xuehua Mountain is much higher than Niangzi Pass, and after the Japanese army occupied Xuehua Mountain, they immediately set up artillery on the top of the mountain and bombarded the wall. The little devils of Jiuguan also launched an attack on the back of Niangzi Pass again under the cover of the plane. Hou Jingru's brigade was crippled in Liangxiang, and it was pulled back to the front line after less than half a month's rest, and its combat effectiveness was far inferior to before. was forced to retreat by the little devils, and when he saw that the battle line was approaching Huang Shaohong's headquarters again.

Huang Shaohong, the boss of the Gui family, was furious, and transferred to the officer training team of Yang Hucheng, who had just arrived, and ordered them to give the Japanese a head-on blow.

After the Xi'an Incident, Yang Hucheng was pressured by all sides and was forced to "go abroad for inspection." At this moment, the whole of his officer training team was holding their breath and wanted to fight for the face of his old boss. Therefore, knowing that Huang Shaohong's command had many inappropriateness, he resolutely carried out the order. As a result, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., they finally withstood the Japanese offensive, and only 500 of the 2,000-strong teaching team remained. More than three-quarters of the brothers fell forever at the foot of the Great Wall.

Huang Shaohong was extremely ashamed in his heart, unwilling to face the reproach of the teaching team, and under the pretext that General Feng Qinzai on the left flank did not listen to the command, he abandoned his troops and rushed back to Taiyuan overnight to "report the situation" to Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations. Leave behind a bunch of middle and senior generals who came to ask for contingency strategies, staring at them in the headquarters!

The battle reached such a point, the former enemy commander-in-chief actually dared to abandon the troops and run to the rear, and the officers who came to ask for instructions on the next move could not bear it anymore, and slapped the table in front of the liaison officers of the second theater, "Grandma, his surname is Huang and he doesn't know how to fight?!" If you don't understand, let Xian do it for someone else! If this continues, Sensei said that even if we bring in another 200,000 people, it will not be enough for his surname Huang! ”

"That is, the focus of the little devil's attack is all on the front line of Jiuguan and Xuehua Mountain. But he put the strength of several divisions on the side of Longquan Pass, isn't it just to create opportunities for the little devils? ”

"The three heroes of the Gui department, with this kind of goods, they deserve to be beaten out of Guangxi!"

"This turtle son, isn't it Cheng Xinyin!"

…..

In particular, Li Zhenxi, the captain of Yang Hucheng's teaching team, was hanging from his injured arm, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His teaching team was trained by Yang Hucheng as an officer seed, and half of them were young students. Today's battle has all been added to the foot of the Great Wall, and it will be even more difficult for General Yang Hucheng to return from abroad in the future, and then want to regroup.

"Could it be that the surname Huang wants to borrow a knife to kill people?!" Suddenly, a very terrible thought came to Li Zhenxi's head. He shook his head, desperately trying to get this dangerous speculation out of his mind, but this speculation seemed to take root, growing bigger and bigger in his mind, like a ghost tree from hell, covering the entire sky in an instant. (Note 1)

Note 1: Huang Shaohong is also very good at writing memoirs, and later blamed Feng Qinzai for the confusion in the command of the Battle of Niangziguan. However, Feng Qinzai's subordinates were very unconvinced, and also wrote many memoirs to refute it.
