On 7 September, in accordance with General Peng's order, the Young Communist Division rushed to within a radius of 30 miles from Tongjiang to Xiaosongshan, and immediately built three lines of defense, with three brigades as the backbone of the defensive position, and the troops directly under the division and the teaching brigade as the general reserve.

Under the professional construction of the engineer battalion, all kinds of fortifications, pillboxes, and hidden military holes were completed on schedule, and the three fronts were also extremely solid, and between the fronts, communication trenches were also built, and the three fronts reflected each other.

Subsequently, Zhang Cheng ordered the special operations brigade to constantly take the initiative to attack, carry out night raids and harassment, carry out uninterrupted strikes against the enemy, and practice the tactics of exhausting the enemy.

At the same time, the reconnaissance battalion was ordered to constantly wander near the enemy's line, carrying light mortars and firing one or two shots from time to time, which made the enemy panic and did not dare to do their best to build fortifications and destroy the enemy's tactics of advancing layer by layer with pillboxes and pillboxes.

In late September, the enemy's five divisions were integrated and preparations for the attack were completed, and a surprise attack on the Young Communist Division could be launched at any time.

Zhang Cheng put the brigade with the strongest combat power and the most veterans in the front-line position, and waited for it.

On 26 September, the enemy's 27th Division launched a tentative attack on the first line of the Young Communist Division, but was easily repulsed by the 1st Brigade.

The tentative offensive of the first day of the enemy army was over, and the members of the division's party committee all felt that there would be a tough battle tomorrow, so they ordered the first brigade to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's big battle, and at the same time ordered the engineer battalion to build more false fortifications and fortifications in the front-line positions overnight, and to strengthen the trenches and pillboxes.

In the early morning of the next day, 40 enemy planes flew over the front-line positions of the Young Communist Division and carried out carpet bombing. Twenty minutes later, 100 enemy heavy artillery, mountain artillery, and mortars shelled the front-line positions for another 30 minutes.

Seeing that the front-line position of the Young Communist Division turned into a sea of fire, the fortifications and fortresses as far as the eye could see were destroyed by artillery fire. The enemy was extremely bold in deploying three main divisions at once, with more than 30,000 people lining up in a dense formation, to attack the forward position of the Young Communist Division.

Under the leadership of regiment commander Chen Zhengxiang, the soldiers jumped out of the tunnel one after another, returned to their positions as quickly as possible, and waited for the enemy's arrival by relying on the fortifications and pillboxes that were blown up beyond recognition.

300 m ......

200 m ......

100 m ......

When the enemy entered fifty meters, Chen Zhengxiang shouted: "Fight!" ”

Suddenly, the guns and artillery in front of the forward position rang out in unison, there was a thunderous explosion of shells and a rainstorm of machine guns, the two mountain guns of an artillery company, eight guns were connected and opened fire, dozens of shells smashed at the enemy at the same time, twelve heavy machine guns were not to be outdone, the bullets swept towards the enemy like a storm, the overly dense formation suddenly made the enemy a live target, each shell took the lives of several people, and the heavy machine guns swept a large area.

The enemy suffered heavy losses, but he was unwilling to be driven off his position by our troops, and sent out a supervising team to force the soldiers to continue the frantic attack on the forward position defended by our regiment. Aircraft and heavy artillery support were immediately called, and ten minutes later, eight enemy planes flew over a group of positions.

The observation post of the juvenile detention post sent out a signal in a timely manner, and the air defense company was divided into three groups to stand by and use machine guns to shoot at the enemy planes that were diving at low altitudes, firing three lines of advance, with the result that the enemy planes were caught off guard, and the three extremely arrogant enemy planes crashed into the line of fire by themselves, destroying two and injuring one, causing the other enemy planes to hurriedly pull out of altitude and hurriedly drop aerial bombs, and hastily flew away regardless of whether they hit either side or not.

At this time, it was Jiang Dingwen, the old opponent of the Young Communist Division, who commanded the five divisions to attack the Young Communist Division, and it was the 9th Division, the main force of his descendants, who attacked the position of the 1st Brigade.

Jiang Dingwen knew that it was the International Division of the Young Communist Party that defended the Tongjiang and Xiaosongshan areas, and it could be said that the enemies were very angry when they saw each other. From Jiang Dingwen onwards, division commanders, brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and battalion commanders ...... Officers at all levels vowed to avenge the "one-arrow revenge" of the General's Palace being played by the Young Communist Division.

Although Jiang Dingwen believed that the Young Communist Division was stronger than other Red Army troops, it was also limited in strength, and the reason why the 29th Division was defeated in the General's Hall and was wiped out by the Young Communist Division under his nose was because the 29th Division was entangled by the Red 23rd Division and was taken advantage of by the Young Communist Division to sneak attack.

If the troops are deployed to fight in an upright manner, the Young Communist Division will not be their opponent at all. Therefore, after the troops were strongly blocked by the Young Communist Division, he was not discouraged, but continued to order the 9th Division to rush into the artillery fire with the whole battalion and regiment at any cost, vowing to seize the forward position of the Young Communist Division.

It has to be said that the phenomenon of the KMT generals talking about troops on paper is very serious, and they do not know themselves or their opponents, and they often make the mistake of looking at the master and the master.

Stilwell, an American, once commented that the Kuomintang army was a first-class soldier, a second-rate general, and a third-rate leader. Just like the five tiger generals under Chang Kaishen, such as Gu Zhutong, Liu Zhi, Jiang Dingwen, and others, their ability to fight wars is far inferior to that of Sun Liren, Wang Yaowu, and others, and in the eyes of the Kuomintang officers and men, they are like rice buckets, but they often occupy high positions and crush those truly capable generals to death, and the conservatism and corruption of the Kuomintang army can be seen from this.

Jiang Dingwen has been taught a lesson by the Young Communist Division several times, but he still remembers what he eats and does not remember, and stubbornly equates the Red Young Communist Division with the ordinary Red Army troops, so it is predictable that he will continue to fail.

There are more than 2,000 troops guarding the forward positions of the Young Communist Division, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, mountain artillery mortars, and more than 1,000 automatic firearms, with extremely sufficient ammunition, and the artillery regiment directly under the division to support them.

In addition, the Young Communist Division was basically trained in accordance with the tactical style of the PLA in later generations, and its military quality and technical combat level have surpassed that of the contemporary army; except that its weapons have not kept up with the times, and even compared with the German Army, which is the strongest army in the world at that time, its military quality is not inferior.

Zhang Cheng saw the stupid offensive methods of the enemy's 9th Division in the telescope, and immediately instructed Chen Zhengxiang, the commander of the 1st regiment, to teach this arrogant enemy a hard lesson.

The two sides fought fiercely until the evening, and the first regiment repelled ten attacks of the 9th Division, and finally launched a bright counter-charge, shattering the dream of the 9th Division to break through the position, with more than 3,000 casualties and more than 500 prisoners in one day.

In the other two flank positions on the front line, the 1st Brigade, the 2nd Regiment, and the 3rd Regiment also repelled the enemy's 38th and 42nd Divisions' repeated attacks, destroying nearly 2,000 enemies and suffering only more than 100 casualties.

That night, Wei Lihuang, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, who had never dealt with the Young Communist Division, was extremely shocked when he learned that the 9th Division had suffered nearly half of the casualties and that the 38th and 42nd Divisions had suffered heavy defeats one after another.
