By the beginning of April 30, the attacking forces of the Japanese 5th Division and the 10th Division had joined forces, and the front of the battlefield had increased. In order to stop the Japanese offensive, the Chinese army extended its flank to the right, and Lu Han's 80th Army, Fan Songfu's 46th Army, Li Yannian's 2nd Army, Tan Daoyuan's 22nd Army, and Wu Liangchen's 13th Division were all engaged in the first line of fighting.

From the Gaohuang Temple in the north of Hanzhuang through Yuwang Mountain to the north and south of Tancheng Laogou and Jiezhuang line, basically a difficult and heroic positional battle is being carried out.

In the position of the 16th Regiment, He Jianye was still supervising the brothers to dig trenches day and night, and used private houses and earthen bags in the Gaozhuang and Gaoji areas in the southwest of Tancheng to build a huge position......

"Regiment commander, listen, the Dian army in front of you is really fierce, it's been several days, and they haven't retreated down, should we go up to help?" Zhu Yunhua, the commander of the first battalion, said,

"No, our task is to be vigilant, not to be exposed in advance!" He Jianye ordered,

On the southern front, the Sato detachment, the advance detachment of the "Central China Dispatch Army", occupied Funing on May 7, and the Sakai detachment remained in Chaoxian. However, in accordance with the battle plan, the main 9th Division and the 13th Division began to advance northward on May 5, and broke through the positions of the 7th Army defending the north bank of the Beiqi River and the west bank of the Whirlpool River on the same day.

"Damn, Lunan is stuck in a position and fighting hard, and Huaibei suddenly appears with the main force of the enemy's 2 divisions advancing north; What the do you think our national army is vegetarian? "He Jianye stomped his feet in the underground regiment headquarters!

"Guards, notify the battalion and company commanders to come to the regimental headquarters!" He Jianye shouted,

"Yes"

Half an hour later, the commanders of all battalions and companies came, He Jianye turned his head to look around, and said to everyone,

"Starting at 4 o'clock this afternoon, I will be out for a while, and the whole regiment will be defended under the command of the second battalion commander Leng Qi. Do you understand? He Jianye said,

"Commander, where are you going? You can't run around at this time! What if there is a telegram from the division headquarters? Deputy Head Xia asked,

"I'll go to the front to check on the enemy!" He Jianye said,

"Isn't there a reconnaissance company in charge every day?" Yang Xiaoshi said,

"What kind of information are you getting here, except for saying how many kilometers the Japanese army has advanced today, and how many brothers have been killed by the national army, is it useful?" He Jianye roared,

Yang Xiaoshi lowered his head and stopped talking......

"Yang Xiaoshi, Zeng Da, Huang Wujun stay, and the others go to busy themselves." He Jianye ordered,

"A few of you, old rules, Yang Xiaoshi and Zeng Da dispatched all the sniper teams, each team is equipped with 2 light machine guns, 13 personnel, and a mortar team, go north with me, and we will meet the Fifth Division; Huang Wujun, send a capable mortar team to the north, and you stay. He Jianye commanded,

"Yes, Captain." The three of them immediately received the order and went to transfer personnel.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, each forward group reached 19 people, plus the group led by He Jianye himself, the number of more than 270 people went out to receive the enemy troops towards Yuwang Mountain, at 10 o'clock in the evening, He Jianye led the troops to receive the Yunnan army troops defending Huangshi Mountain, in order to prevent misunderstanding, He Jianye sent Yang Xiaoshi to contact the Yunnan army,

"Commander. This is the liaison officer of the Dian army. "After Yang Xiaoshi returned at 11 o'clock, he brought back a company commander of the Dian army,

The liaison officer of the "sir" Yunnan army saluted,

"Hello, I am He Jianye of the 16th Regiment of the 3rd Division, and I came to lead the team this time mainly to feel the enemy's situation! We are building fortifications in Yishui, southwest of Tancheng, less than 4 hours behind you. Probably going through your position, no problem! He Jianye said,

"Sir, now our 184th Division and the Banxi Wing of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army are facing off, you have to be careful." The liaison officer said,

"It's okay, as long as you don't get hurt by Brother Dian Jun." He Jianye said,

"Sir, do you want to meet our Senior Commander Zhang?" The liaison officer asked,

"No, we're going to get through the line in the dark, but I'll tell you! We may provoke the little devils, you should be careful in your defense, the little devils rush over and ask the brothers for help! I'm ready to go, take care, brother! He Jianye said,

"Sir, rest assured, our Dian army has been resisting here for dozens of days, and the little devils on the other side have not done anything to us." The liaison officer saluted and left.

"Squad tactics penetrate deep into the Japanese defense line, and the goal: to strike at the living forces of the Japanese army; Don't try to kill too many enemies, protect yourself. Walk! He Jianye ordered,

"Here, leave two light machine guns; Go over there with two light machine guns, each with a mortar group, to cover the retreat! He Jianye ordered in a low voice,

"Regiment commander, there are still 800 meters from the Japanese defense line; Climb over this ridge and you can see the bonfire in front of the Japanese line. Yang Xiaoshi ran over and reported in a low voice,

"Let's go, meet under the ridge." After speaking, He Jianye bent down and ran towards the ridge......

"All light machine guns, find cover on this hurdle and don't make a move! The riflemen cooperated, the snipers and observers followed me, pay attention, disperse and sneak, and hit the Japanese sentries......" With He Jianye's order, more than thirty people advanced towards the area covered by the bonfire under the cover of darkness......

"Bang", "bang, bang, bang......" With the gunfire of the K98, 6 sentries fell on the Japanese line in 3 minutes......

"Your Excellency Dazuo, the people of China have sent someone to shoot cold again!" The squadron leader on duty immediately reported to Sakanishi Kazura Daisa of the 59th Wing;

"Baga, these Yunnan people who are not afraid of death; Send a squad and destroy them......" Sakanishi Ichira Daisa ordered,

"Captain, look, the little devil has sent a reinforcement team out and is coming towards us; Want to retreat? Yang Xiaoshi was in charge of observation and said to He Jianye,

"Hehe, a team, the little devil thinks too highly of himself; Destroy them! He Jianye didn't raise his head, his right eye was attached to the sniper scope, and with the help of the firelight, he aimed at the grenadier of the devil squad......

"Bang" "Bang, Bang, Bang......"

Fifteen minutes later, the devil team had all been put down within 200 meters of the sniper team before they could break through, except for a few wounded devil soldiers who were crawling to the defense line on the ground, the ground was full of little devil corpses......

"Yaga!" The squadron leader on duty used a telescope to watch his team being named one by one by the Zhina, and scolded angrily......

"Order, the whole squadron attack, Yamamoto-kun, your squad is outflanked from the right, Fukada-kun, your squad is outflanked from the left, heavy machine guns cover the fire; The rest of me will come out of the line with me......"

"Toot, toot, toot" two short, one long and one short whistles sounded on the right and left at the same time.

He Jianye understood that this was the beginning of the Japanese outflanking left and right, listening to the sniper rifles on both sides began to shoot, He Jianye looked up at the defensive line, and there were still no little devils coming out,

"Send a signal to inform everyone to retreat to Tukan, where are we going to deal with these devils!" He Jianye ordered,

"Yes" Yang Xiaoshi took out the whistle and began to blow violently,

On the ridge, Zeng Da, who stayed behind, listened to the whistle and gunshots, and ordered,

"Machine gunners and mortars ready!"
