The 109th Division belongs to the four-unit ad hoc division, that is, two infantry brigades and four infantry wings like the permanent division.

The Japanese army blocked by the independent battalion was the 119th Infantry Wing of the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division, which belonged to the same brigade as the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 136th Wing of the Japanese Army that Xiao Siming killed in Yuxian last time.

After the 109th Division captured Cangxian in the northern section of the Jinpu Road, the main force of the division advanced along the left bank of the Fuyang River and joined the Pinghan Road operation.

The 118th Brigade was divided into two, and the 136th Infantry Wing of it moved with the main force of the division and participated in the Battle of Taiyuan. After the end of the battle, he immediately participated in the eight-way siege of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area, in which the first infantry brigade, the first squadron of the second brigade, and the third squadron were severely attacked by the independent battalion commanded by Xiao Siming.

The 118th Brigade Headquarters commanded the 119th Wing to attack Shandong with the Japanese Second Army. On December 23, 1937, after the Japanese Second Army launched the battle of crossing the river to capture Jinan, the 119th Wing crossed the Yellow River in the south of Huimin County and occupied the famous cities of Zhangdian, Zhoucun and Boshan along the Jiaoji Railway. On January 4, 1938, the 119th Wing captured Mengyin County in the Yimeng Mountains, and on the 5th, it occupied Lishan to the east of Surabaya County.

In the northern section of the Jinpu Road and in the operation of attacking Shandong, the 119th Wing burned and looted all the way, causing tragedies, and there were no less than 6 bloody cases in which more than 400 people were slaughtered at a time, and more than 10 tragic cases were successively created in the Zibo area, slaughtering more than 1,000 people, and a total of 3,900 Chinese civilians were slaughtered in Hebei and Shandong.

Because the wing commander of the 119th Wing is Ishida Jinzo Daisa, this unit is called the "Devil Ishida Force" by the military and civilians of Hebei and Shandong.

The commander of the 119th Wing, Ishida Kinzo Daisa, was a native of Mie Prefecture, Japan, and graduated from the 19th Infantry Section of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School on May 31, 1907.

Historically, the 119th Wing led by Ishida Jinzo was transferred back to the 109th Division with the 118th Brigade Headquarters on January 25, 1938. Ishida Jinzo himself was killed by the 624th Regiment of the 68th Division of the Wang Jingguo Division of the Jin Sui Army during the attack on Liulin on September 14, 1938.

In fact, because the 109th Division of the Japanese Army is composed of reservists, most of the soldiers are in their 30s, have families, and do not have a strong sense of war, and they are best at robbery, rape, and massacre. In the Japanese military sequence, special divisions such as the 109th Division belonged to the third-class division, nominally ranking after the first-class permanent division, the second-class permanent division, the fourth-class security division and the fifth-class supplementary division. However, when it comes to combat effectiveness, the Japanese army itself admits that the combat effectiveness of public security divisions and supplementary divisions is higher than that of ad hoc divisions. Because of this, the 109th Division was revoked and sent back to Japan for demobilization in December 1939. Later, in 1944, the Japanese army reorganized the 109th Division based on the garrison of Chichijima Fortress in the Ogasawara Islands, and was completely annihilated by the U.S. Army in the Battle of Iwo Jima in March 1945.

The two 109th divisions in front and behind are two units.

Therefore, the reason why the 119th Wing of the Japanese Army marched all the way from Hebei to Shandong was not how strong their combat effectiveness was, but that they were lucky and did not encounter the elite of the Chinese army!

Now, due to Xiao Siming's birth, the 118th Wing of the 136th Brigade suffered heavy losses in the Eighth Route Siege, and the 118th Brigade Headquarters led the 119th Infantry Wing to return to the army a few days ahead of schedule.

The Japanese are meticulous and conscientious!

Before setting off, Ishida Jinzo had received some information from the 136th Wing about the Eighth Route Army troops stationed in Yuxian, but the independent battalion was a new unit, and after the battle, it was trained in the county seat of Yuxian, and the Japanese army did not know much about the independent battalion. In this regard, the captain of the 1st Brigade of the 136th Wing who fled back from Yuxian County still provided a very valuable piece of information, that is, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Yuxian County is the best at ambushes and attacks, and there is a sniper with a gun and a headshot!

Ishida Jinzang doesn't have the words Eighth Route Army in his eyes at all, he has fought all the way from Tanggu to Yimeng Mountain, will he be afraid that it is not the Eighth Route Army of the Central Army!

Unexpectedly, when Ishida Jinzang led the team to raid Yuxian County on the country road, he met Xiao Siming's independent battalion! It's a headlong crash into granite.

Before today's battle, the 119th Wing had not experienced a decent battle on the battlefield in North China, and it was very arrogant! Today's battle made them understand at once that fighting is really about death, and this group of old devils became like frightened rabbits, extremely cautious!

In Xiao Siming's binoculars, the Japanese troops occupying the opposite mountain beam were like turtles, climbing on the mountain beam motionless. After a full hour, it was confirmed that the Eighth Route Army that was blocking the attack had really withdrawn, and those old devils advanced from the mountain beam to the Nianzigou attack.

Xiao Siming doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, he uses the 38 big cover to fight the devil officers, after the little devils occupy the mountain beam, they have to redeploy the officers and reorganize the team, does it take time!

The attack formation of the little devils became more dispersed, and the detachments were taken as units, some along the main road, some along the ditch on the hillside, and some along the sheep intestine path where the sheep herds were walking, bending down and holding guns, coming down from the mountain beam and rushing to Nianzigou Village.

Looking at the troops, this should be a squadron of devils. The large army of devils behind did not swarm to follow, but stood guard on the mountain beam, observing the progress of the attack of the forward squadron.

The village is empty and empty, and there is not even a single cow, pig, sheep or chicken!

From the mountain beam to the Nianzigou, this forward squadron of the devil took an hour!

The Eighth Route Army at the commanding heights northwest of Nianzigou Village did not shoot!

After confirming that there was no enemy in Nianzigou Village, the squadron leader who acted as a pioneer squadron ordered the flag soldiers to send flags and notify the large troops behind to follow up!

So, the devils on the mountain beam finally moved, still in a very scattered formation, dragging infantry guns, carrying heavy machine guns, carrying grenadiers, holding 38 big covers and 96 light machine guns, leading pack horses, coming down from the mountain beam, along the main road, along the trench, along the sheep intestine path, step by step attack.

This group of old devils, alas, is really impossible to say, if Emperor Hirohito sees them crawling like a frightened and cautious turtle, I am afraid that his nose will be crooked, and he will have to withdraw the 118th Wing in a fit of anger!

There's no way, it's all Xiao Siming's fault, the fight is too hard, and the old devils of the 118th Wing are timid and scared!

That's it, the old devils of the 118th Wing have not seen the tragic situation of the 136th Wing Infantry First Brigade and the Second Infantry Brigade, the Third Squadron and the First Squadron being hit by Xiao Siming and them in Yuxian County.

Judging from the strength of the troops, this group of devils should be a dilapidated infantry brigade, with a total strength of about seven or eight hundred people.

That is to say, after repeated blocking by the reconnaissance platoon, the first platoon of three companies, the fire support platoon, and the first platoon of the heavy machine gun team, the vanguard of the 118th Wing of the Japanese army has lost three or four hundred people, and the two infantry squadrons are gone!

From a common sense point of view, the vanguard of the Japanese army has been crippled and should be withdrawn to rest! The devil commander still asked them to fight the vanguard, that is, they were ready to let this infantry brigade enter the shrine en masse!

After descending to Nianzigou Village, the Japanese vanguard infantry brigade did not immediately continue to advance along the main road, but divided its troops to search, and searched back and forth in Nianzigou, repeatedly searching, as if this remote Nianzigou plum was buried with gold, silver and jewelry, and it was almost three feet into the ground.

The figure of the second infantry brigade of the follow-up Japanese army finally appeared on the opposite mountain beam, the devil's infantry cannon was also erected, the heavy machine gun slipped away, and the muzzle and muzzle were aimed at the mountain beam where Xiao Siming and them were, and the devil's vanguard infantry brigade in Nianzigou Village began to attack and advance to the mountain beam northwest of Nianzigou.

It should be said that the tactical quality of the little devil commander is very good, and the arrangement of troops is very orderly. No, the two infantry guns of the Devil's Pioneer Brigade were erected, and the heavy machine guns also relied on the ruins of the village in Nianzigou to establish a position, ready to cover the infantry's attack.

A devil infantry squad left Nianzigou Village and went onto the main road, followed by two squads. In addition, there was a squadron that did not take the main road, but climbed directly up the hillside, and it seemed that it was going to attack in two ways and quickly seize the mountain beam.

This time, the little devil did not crawl with a turtle, but acted quickly. In particular, the infantry squadron that was attacking along the main road was almost running forward. It's a pity that this is an uphill road, and the little devil can't run, so he can only go faster!

The devil who climbs along the hillside net must be walking very slowly. This group of old devils shot while climbing the slope, and the crisp sound of the 38 big cover and the 96-type light machine gun echoed in the mill ditch!

The devils use the 38 big cover, and the 2nd company of the independent battalion, the engineer team, and the reconnaissance platoon guarding the mountain beam also use the 38 big cover, including the deputy shooter, ammunition man, and ammunition hand of the artillery team of the heavy machine gun team, and the ammunition hand of the artillery team also uses the 38 big cover and the 96-type light machine gun.

Under the eager gaze of the captain of the devil brigade who stayed in Nianzigou Village, the devil team that was rapidly attacking along the road finally attacked the pass of the mountain beam turned by the highway, and the telescope in the hand of the devil captain was put down, and a sentence of "yo west" was spit out in his mouth, and the trumpeter was ordered to blow the trumpet, and the two squads behind the top soldier team were notified to follow up quickly and seize the mountain beam!

The devil's trumpet sounded, and the two devil squads who followed the top soldier squad about two or three hundred meters behind understood that there were no hindrance soldiers in front, and it was time to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor.
