The headquarters of the Japanese army in Seoul, the commander of the Japanese army, Yoshima Oshima, received that the Vietnamese Ridge was captured overnight, and the 117th Brigade defending the Vietnamese Ridge was completely annihilated, and said with a pale face: "Which unit is the closest division of the Northern Front to the Vietnamese Ridge?" "Report to the commander, the closest to Vietnam Ridge is the 25th Division, which is located southwest of the Hamgyong Mountains, but it is also 2 days away." "Order the 25th Division to advance at full speed and be sure to reach Vietnam Ridge at midnight today." Yoshimasa Oshima seemed to be roaring.

"Your Excellency General, let the 25th Division arrive ahead of schedule, it is bound to lose heavy equipment, which is not effective for attack!" Okamura Ninji Road. "I can't control so much now, and we must not let the enemy army gain a foothold in Vietnam Ridge." Okamura Ninji was speechless, the use of the flesh and blood of the soldiers without heavy weapons was undoubtedly to send him to death, but he knew that the commander was already mentally unbalanced, so he added: "The telegram ordered all divisions and regiments in the north to form lightly armed troops and quickly break through in the direction of the Vietnam Ridge. ”

Oshima Yoshimasa seemed to remember something and continued: "Order the 18th Division to entangle the enemy forces in Daxing, and order the 21st Division to attack and advance to Wolf Forest Mountain from the south of Woji Peak!" Order the 4th Division of Hamhung to entangle the enemy tank units! "Okamura Ninji heard that the commander was going to sacrifice the 18th and 21st divisions to prevent the enemy from attacking from west to east and cover the main division to recapture the Viet Nam Ridge. Okamura Ninji's eyes were on the map, and his heart became heavier and heavier, in just two days, two brigades and a reorganized wing were destroyed, and the heavy troops on the northern front were afraid that there would be more than one bad luck.

The 40th Division of the 14th Army, the 45th and 46th Divisions of the 15th Army, and the 47th, 48th, and 49th Armies of the 16th Army were all engaged in the first-line defense of the Vietnam Ridge. The retreating troops of the Japanese army continued to reach the Viet Nam Ridge and went into battle, and the battlefield became larger and larger. At night, at a certain position in the Vietnam Ridge, the Japanese army attacked round after round. Due to the large coverage of artillery fire supported by the artillery brigade, the strike fire was far from sufficient. This position was broken through by the Japanese. Japanese soldiers stormed the trench fortifications, and hand-to-hand combat broke out between the two sides. As the Japanese soldiers continued to pour into the trenches, the defending soldiers were outnumbered and all killed.

At the moment of crisis, a company of the special regiment and a platoon of the light machine gun brigade rushed to support. With a dense rain of bullets, the Japanese soldiers were knocked down in pieces, and the submachine guns and light machine guns were extremely powerful in close combat, and the Japanese soldiers left piles of dead bodies and retreated. The same scenario was played out in other positions, and the special regiments, including the mortar brigade, the light machine gun brigade, and the gun grenade brigade, all participated in the battle, and the frenzied offensive of the Japanese army was temporarily contained.

In the darkness, a wave of Japanese stormtroopers retreated. The soldiers waiting for the attack saw that less than half of the soldiers had retreated, and many of them were wounded. In this situation, the Japanese soldiers waiting for the charge seemed to turn a blind eye, and their nerves were numb in the face of death. The commander gave the order, and the soldiers charged again.

At the headquarters of the 4th Corps in Daxing, Wu Peifu held the phone in his hand and roared loudly: "If your soldiers are lost, I will supplement you, and if you die, I will offer condolences." A brigade of the 48th Reserve Division has already gone to your division's position, and you must resist it for me. ”

"Commander, more than half of the casualties of the 40th Division should continue to invest troops!" The chief of staff was anxious. "It's good to hold on until dawn, we must suppress the madness of the Japanese army." "Damn, little Japan is crazy, attacking in turns for 2 days and 2 nights in a row, this is to open the way with the corpses of soldiers!" The chief of staff was a little apprehensive. "It was reported that 500 light machine guns from the country had arrived, as did 10 trucks carrying machine gun ammunition." A subordinate reported.

"God help me, immediately order the transport team to transport all the machine guns and ammunition to Vietnam Ridge!" Wu Peifu ordered loudly. Seeing that the commander suddenly came to his senses, the staff of the headquarters breathed a sigh of relief. In two consecutive days of fighting, the light machine gun brigade played a powerful role in firepower, especially in the face of the Japanese group's charge, the efficiency of the light machine gun even exceeded that of the heavy machine gun, and there was no doubt that after the battlefield test, it was no wonder that Wu Peifu looked excited. "Report, the headquarters called, the reserve corps of 10,000 people, has arrived in Qinchuan."

The east is exposed to the white of the fish's belly, and the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield is still pervasive. As far as the eye could see, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers in front of the position were horrible, but the Japanese soldiers did not stop attacking, and they did not hesitate to step on the corpses of their comrades and continue to attack. There was a roar in the sky, and a large number of bombardment fighters rushed to the battlefield. The aerial bomb exploded among the Japanese soldiers, but the Japanese soldiers attacked without retreating, giving the impression that the Japanese soldiers were like charging machines.

At the Fengtian headquarters, Cai Ye said with a solemn expression: "Commander, the Japanese army is holding the corpses of soldiers to open the way, if the Japanese army continues to fight like this, I am afraid that the Yue Zhan Ridge will not be able to hold it." "Don't worry, I want to see how much the Japanese are prepared to pay. Today is the fifth day of the Vietnam Ridge Blockade Battle, and the Japanese army will not be able to fight for another three days at most. Tell Wu Peifu that he must have self-confidence and compare willpower and endurance with the Japanese army. "Report, Lin Qiang, commander of the special combat team, reported that the headquarters was on the southeast side of Woji Peak and successfully attacked the headquarters of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the Japanese division, including the personnel of the division headquarters, were all killed. At present, the main force of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army is fleeing eastward. ”

"Chief, there is good news from the special operations group!" Cai Ye was shocked. "Send a report to He Zhi and order the 5th, 52nd, 57th, and 63rd armies to be temporarily organized to press the offensive from west to east and relieve the pressure on the defense of the Vietnam Ridge." On the night when Ge Yunfei ordered the Western Front to press and attack, 500 mortars arrived at Vietnam Ridge. That night, a dazzling ballistic arc lit up the sky. With 10,000 soldiers of the Reserve Corps joining the battle group, the defensive strength of Vietnam Ridge has always maintained the rated number of troops, which has played a role in stabilizing the defense.

At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Seoul, Yoshimasa Oshima's cheeks were visibly collapsed and his eyes were red. Especially his sideburns are white, and his expression is particularly hideous. Okamura was relatively better, but his eyes were still red. "It is reported that the casualties of the soldiers of the 25th Division and the 30th Division have reached four-fifths, and the enemy is constantly increasing troops towards the Vietnam Ridge." Yoshimasa Oshima was speechless. "Your Excellency, General, I have been fighting for 8 days, and I still can't break through the Vietnam Ridge at such a cost. In addition, the headquarters of the 21st Division, which was heading south from Woji Peak, was attacked by enemy troops, and the division commander, including all the personnel of the division headquarters, was killed, and the headquarters had moved closer to the main force in the east. The 18th Division has been disabled, and it should be said that the enemy's goal has been achieved. ”

Oshima Yoshimasa glared at the godless eyes and said: "Send a report to the base camp, the main army that was surrounded has suffered heavy losses, and it is recommended that the base camp start a rescue plan." Okamura-kun, you immediately go to the Datong River to personally command the troops to carry out the rescue. In addition, the encircled units were ordered to immediately build defensive positions on the spot and wait for rescue. "Your Excellency General, in times of crisis, you have to pay attention to your body," Okamura Ninji raised his hand and saluted away, and Oshima Yoshimasa sat on his chair decadently.

At the headquarters of the 4th Corps in Daxing, Wu Peifu received the news that the Japanese army had stopped attacking at Viet Chan Ridge, and sat weakly in his chair. For a long time, he muttered to himself: "Is the Yue Zhan Ridge really defended?" "Commander, it's true that we hold on, the Japanese have stopped attacking!" The chief of staff did not appear particularly happy, but closed his eyes and let out a long breath. All the officers and staff of the headquarters fell asleep on the table after the excitement, which shows how much pressure they have endured.

Lei Ming led the tanks and combat vehicles to retreat from the direction of Hamhung to Yuezhan Ridge, and a large area of new graves appeared at the foot of the mountain. Lei Ming ordered a stop, and he saw Marin sitting alone in front of the grave, holding his head in his hands and looking very painful. "Old man, don't be sad, it's worth their blood for the peace of the motherland." Marin didn't look up and said: "Of the 1,200 people in our department, 432 were killed and 571 were wounded, my heart is dripping blood!" Lei Ming raised his hand solemnly and speechlessly.

"The machine gun brigade and the grenadier brigade were basically lost, and the mortar brigade was completely organized. I will never forget the brutal resistance for 8 days. Lei Ming stretched out his hand and pulled Ma Lin up and said, "The veteran Ma regiment leader can't stand it, you can see what kind of scene the battlefield is." Old man, please turn your grief into strength, the next battle is still waiting for us, you have to cheer up. At this time, the tank crews gathered around and bowed to see off their fallen comrades.

At the headquarters of the 4th Corps in Daxing, the chief of staff said to Wu Peifu: "The commander-in-chief called, giving high salute to our corps' stubborn resistance, and conveying all the battle losses of our department to be supplemented first. In addition, the headquarters requisitioned an artillery division to strengthen our defense. "Tell the commander-in-chief that the humble post will never let the Japanese army escape from my position, unless I, Wu Peifu, are bloodied on the battlefield. Is the mourning hall finished? "It's done!" "Let's go and worship the Heroic Spirits.

On the third day after the Japanese army stopped breaking through, an encirclement was formed, and Ge Yunfei ordered to stop the offensive. At the Fengtian headquarters, everyone returned to their old smiles, and the atmosphere began to liven up. "The commander-in-chief, He Zhi reported that according to aerial reconnaissance, there were signs of movement of the Japanese troops on the front line of the Datong River. The 3rd Tank Regiment has already reached Turtle City. "Ordered the air force to launch an air attack on the Japanese army on the front line of the Datong River and delay the deployment of the Japanese army. In addition, we will send reconnaissance planes to scatter leaflets on the Japanese troops in the encirclement, and we will mentally torture them. ”

Ge Yunfei continued: "Send a report to the capital that 300,000 Japanese troops have been successfully surrounded, and I want the whole world to know the news." ”

A few days later, the Japanese army sent reinforcements on the front line of the Datong River, and after a fierce battle, the Japanese rescue was fruitless. Due to the problem of food for the encircled Japanese army, the Japanese government asked the international community to mediate. Ge Yunfei handed over the command to Cai Yi, and then flew directly to the capital by special plane.
