The night was hazy, and the troops quietly entered the assault positions. The soldiers of the 3rd Division had long been screaming www.biquge.info, and their passion for battle was very high. The telephone ringing in the division headquarters was incessant, and the combat staff officer constantly shook the telephone to learn about the situation of each department and report to the division commander at any time. At this time, Wang Kun's neckline was open and his cuffs were pulled, maybe it was because of the heat, maybe it was because of the excitement, in short, Wang Kun's mental state was bursting, and his subordinates were like being beaten with chicken blood.

Wang Kun's troops were formed by the Sihai Dart Bureau as the team, adhering to the brave and fierce atmosphere of martial arts practitioners. The commander is like this, the subordinates are like this, and the soldiers are nurtured to naturally form a unique atmosphere. Such a distinctive unit is good at attacking and defending inadequately. Since the start of the defensive operation, Ge Yunfei has not put Wang Kun's 3rd Division into defensive operations, which is based on the reason why this unit is good at attacking and weak in defense. In addition, the 3rd Division practiced more offense than defense in its usual training.

"Report to the division commander, the brigades have entered the attack position, and the Japanese are not aware of it. The reconnaissance unit was told that the fortifications built by the Japanese army were very rudimentary, and that small Japan was too big. "The Oriental devil is the attacking side, so naturally he spends all his mind on the offensive side. The Japanese offensive on the Dagu River was in full swing and progressing smoothly, so little Japan would never have imagined that we would launch a counterattack on the Jimo front. Commander Ge's move is wonderful, it can be described as a surprise and unpreparedness. ”

Wang Kun continued: "According to intelligence, the 14th Division has a brigade, a logistics wing, and an artillery brigade in Duanbolan Town. The commander of the Japanese division was called Kumamoto Akihei, who had participated in the Russo-Japanese War and had very rich combat experience. We are a long-distance attack, intended to be a quick assault. Commander Ge urged us to carry forward the spirit of continuous combat and to strike, rush, and pursue, that is, the tactics of three fierce battles. Our aim was not to eat the Japanese army, but to force the Japanese army to retreat and break up the Japanese offensive. ”

"Division commander, assault units have been formed in each brigade, and the purpose is very clear." When the time came, Wang Kun gave the order for an assault, there was no military horn, no artillery support, and the soldiers were agile and rushed towards the Japanese entrenched Duanbolan Town. In less than half an hour, gunshots were heard in front of the house, and then the gunfire began to intensify. Soon the explosion of grenades was heard, and it was clear that the attacking troops had come into close contact with the Japanese troops. The battle suddenly became fierce.

Fierce gunfire and explosions were incessant, and the Japanese troops were well-trained and hurried to meet the battle. At this time, the division commander Kumamoto Akihei was in a daze in the command headquarters. At this time, a subordinate ran in and reported: "Your Excellency, the enemy's offensive is fierce and sharp, judging the strength of at least one brigade!" "Order the version of the brigade to all go into battle, and be sure to withstand the enemy's attack." The subordinates were ordered to go. "Your Excellency General, the enemy's defense is overstretched, and a brigade of troops was actually dispatched to carry out a sneak attack, obviously the enemy's purpose is to relieve the pressure on the Dagu River defense line."

The chief of staff continued: "The enemy army is not self-sufficient, how much can the strength of a brigade play!" "Report, the defenders of Liujiazhuang have been fiercely attacked by the enemy!" "Report! The defenders of Longquan Town were fiercely attacked. Kumamoto Akihei walked to the map and looked at it: "This is a premeditated counterattack plan of the enemy, and the target is us." The enemy army attacking Duanbolan Town was not a brigade but a division, and if I had not misjudged, it must have been an enemy division stationed in a suburban county attacking us by means of a long-distance attack. ”

"Immediately report to the headquarters that the enemy's defensive forces in the suburbs of Jimo suddenly attacked, from Liujiazhuang Town, Duanbolan Town, and Longquan Town, and launched a sudden attack in three directions. Judging that the enemy army has dispatched at least 40,000 troops, our unit is very critical. The battle intensified, and Kumamoto Akihei thought that the surprise attack of the enemy army was only a small fight, and he did not expect that the headquarters would be attacked together. When he came to his senses, he quickly reported to the Weihai Command.

At the Weihai Command of the Japanese Army, Commander He Hecao walked in with a dignified expression, and after listening to the report of his subordinates, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked to the map to check. "Your Excellency, the enemy's goal is to flank the Dagu River, and once the flank is exposed, our attacking troops will be in danger. It is impossible to draw troops from the battlefield to provide support, and at present, the front-line attack troops on the Dagu River are attacking in turn, and they have reached the limit. It seems that the enemy has premeditated the purpose of breaking up our offensive. ”

"Ge Yunfei actually used the defensive troops of Jimo and Jiaoji to carry out a counterattack, which can be described as a dangerous move. However, the 14th Division was divided into three parts, and it was bound to be broken by each one. Order the Pingdu and Dagu River fronts to stop the offensive and retreat quickly, and order Kumamoto Akihei to hold on until tomorrow morning to cover the withdrawal of our main forces from the war zone on the Dagu River line. "Kawai knows very well that tomorrow at dawn, the enemy will dispatch a large number of warplanes to bomb indiscriminately, and it is very likely that a frontal counterattack will be carried out on all fronts, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Your Excellency General, is it difficult for the enemy to transfer a large number of reinforcements?" "Ge Yunfei is an unusual figure, if the enemy forces put in heavy troops, what will be the result of attacking directly north from Longquan Town?" The chief of staff looked at the military map and gasped, as if he had seen the scene of the defeat of the army. After Kawai finished speaking, he sat on the chair and looked up to the sky and sighed. He knew that this massive attack had failed again. The failure of the offensive and the demoralization also meant the end of his military career.

At midnight, two villages on the east side of Duanbolan Town were taken, and the troops pointed directly at Duanbolan Town, where the Japanese division headquarters was located. "Your Excellency, the enemy's attack is rapid, and at present two villages on the east side have been captured, and the enemy has begun to attack the town. For the sake of safety, please retreat to Zhangzhuang on the northeast side of the town! When Kumamoto Akihei hesitated, one of his subordinates rushed to report: "Report, the enemy army has attacked the town from the southwest!" The generals were shocked when they heard this.

"Order all departments to hold on until dawn, and then move closer to Zhangzhuang!" Street fighting broke out in the town, and the attack speed was slowed down. The headquarters of the 3rd Division continued to move forward, and Wang Kun walked into the temporary headquarters and said depressedly: "Damn, if the troops are strong, none of the Japanese troops in front of you will be able to escape." "Division commander, the Japanese army's stubborn resistance shows that the Japanese army is aware of the danger." As soon as the chief of staff's voice fell, an operational staff officer ran to the front with a telegram in his hand and said, "Division commander, Commander Ge is calling!" ”

Wang Kun took the telegram and took a quick look and said: "Good news, the Japanese army on the front line of the Dagu River stopped attacking, and Kumamoto Akihei stubbornly resisted, the purpose was to buy time for the Japanese army to retreat." Ordered all units to continue to strengthen the offensive and hold back this Japanese army. ”

The east showed the white belly of the fish, and in the headquarters of the 2nd Division of Pingdu, Ge Yunfei's expression obviously improved. "Commander, Wang Kun called, the headquarters has occupied half of Duanbolan Town, and the Japanese army is showing signs of retreating." Ge Yunfei stood up and asked, "Where did the two brigades of the Qingdao City Defense Army arrive?" ”

"The 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Qingdao City Defense Army have arrived at Shimen!" "Great, I ordered Wang Kun to dispatch a brigade to quickly move eastward and cooperate with the 7th Division and the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Qingdao City Defense Army to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Longquan Town. Directly in my name. "Commander, being able to eat a wing of the Japanese army is like icing on the cake for a counterattack operation!" He Zhi was overjoyed. Ge Yunfei said: "The tactics of the Japanese army are rigid, Kumamoto Akihei would not have thought that one of our troops would appear at the stone gate to block the retreat of the Japanese army in Longquan Town." Finally, a Japanese wing was encircled and annihilated, and the finishing touch was to achieve a great victory in our defensive operations. ”

Finally survived until dawn, and the Japanese army headquarters in Weihai was stable. At this time, a subordinate hurriedly ran in with a telegram in his hand and said: "Report to the general, the commander of the Kumamoto Division has called, and the 92nd Wing of the unit lives in Longquan Town, and is stubbornly blocked at Shimen. Kawai Cao hurriedly walked to the map to check it, and suddenly changed his face and roared: "Bastard, order Kumamoto to send troops to reinforce quickly, and be sure to rescue the 92nd Wing!" "General, Kumamoto himself is difficult to protect, because he ordered the 92nd Wing to break through with all his might!"

Kawai looked at the chief of staff and closed his eyes in pain. After a day and a night of fighting, more than 3,000 men and horses of the 92nd Wing of the Japanese Army were surrounded and annihilated by more than 20,000 people. The most surprising thing is that 2,700 people were captured in the 92nd Wing of the Japanese Army, which shows that the Japanese soldiers are not monolithic, and everyone is not a warrior who is not afraid of death, which also indicates that the Japanese army is beginning to decline.

At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Weihai, Kawai Cao held a telegram from the staff headquarters in his hand, and his expression was indifferent. He knew in his heart that the failure of the attack meant his own failure. The General Staff Headquarters asked him to return to Tokyo to apologize, but Kawai Cao could not face the shame and chose to commit suicide.

After the 92nd Wing was surrounded and annihilated, it rained heavily for 2 days in a row, and it seemed that God was helping. The Japanese soldiers retreated on the muddy road, the atmosphere of defeat was enveloped, and the battle line returned to its original position.
