There is a high ground called Yangling at the junction of Dai County and Wutai County, and Hou Guanchun, the commander of the 26th Division, took his guards and some of the division headquarters personnel to flee all the way in embarrassment, and they finally ran here, and after the temporary division headquarters was established in Yangling, the signal corps immediately began to send electricity to the various departments of the 26th Division, and then Guan Chun was anxiously waiting for the departments to call back.

The 26th Division has under the jurisdiction of the 11th Independent Infantry Wing, the 12th Independent Infantry Wing, the 13th Independent Infantry Wing, and the 26th Independent Field Artillery Wing, the 26th Heavy Infantry Wing, the Search Team, the Communication Team, and the whole division directly under the division headquarters with a total of more than 15,000 people.

Hou Guanchun was full of confidence in this operation at first, and he felt that this time the North China Front Army would transfer several divisions and regiments to fight together, and he would definitely be able to completely annihilate the troops of the Honorary Second Division and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, but he never imagined that he would end up like this.

If he hadn't escaped from the division headquarters in time, Houguan Chun would have become a corpse long ago.

"Division commander, for the time being, we can't get in touch with the departments, their radio stations are all turned off, we have immediately got in touch with the 109th Division, I believe that the 109th Division troops will learn about the situation of the departments, but judging from the current situation, there will not be too many officers and soldiers who can break through."

A young staff officer came to Houguan Chun, he looked at Houguan Chun, and said with a solemn expression on his face.

After hearing the report of this young staff officer, Houguan Chun's face was full of despair, he looked at the map, and fell into silence for a while.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of September 23, the remnants of the Honorary Second Regiment and the Honorary Sixth Regiment began to assemble in Hutou Mountain one after another, and the troops of the Honorary Fourth Regiment, the Honorary Fifth Regiment, the 359th Brigade Headquarters, the 717th Regiment, and the 718th Regiment began to encircle and annihilate the subordinate units of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army.

The search team of the 26th Division has already been completely annihilated in Dai County, and its artillery wing has also suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the cavalry of the Honorable Fifth Regiment, and at present the troops of the 26th Division are able to fight only three infantry wings, and these three infantry wings are currently suffering heavy losses.

The 12th Independent Infantry Wing is the unit that has suffered the biggest tank attack from the 4th Regiment of Honor, so far, the 12th Independent Infantry Wing has suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the commander of the Dazuo Wing has completely given up fighting with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and he has taken hundreds of devil soldiers to abandon the seriously wounded and desperately began to evacuate towards Dai County.

The 13th Independent Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army is under siege, and Brigade Commander Wang of the 359th Brigade has readjusted his deployment, and he uses the 717th Regiment and the 718th Regiment to besiege the 13th Independent Infantry Wing with the 3rd Armored Battalion, Heavy Artillery Battalion, and Mechanized Artillery Battalion of the 4th Honorary Regiment, and the rest of the 4th Honorary Regiment is with the main force of the 5th Regiment of the Honor to begin to attack the 11th Independent Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army.

The fierce fighting was still going on, but the Japanese troops were clearly at a disadvantage, and their casualties began to increase as the Eighth Route Army troops attacked.

Dashi Village is located five kilometers west of Doucun Town, 10 kilometers north of Hutou Mountain, at present, the headquarters of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army is stationed in Dashi Village, and the two wings of engineers and artillery directly under the 109th Division are stationed inside and outside Dashi Village, while the 31st Brigade and 118th Brigade directly under the 109th Division are deployed around Dashi Village, and the devil soldiers have begun to build trenches.

The little devils were well-trained, and in a short time, the complete fortifications were built by them, and the devil soldiers began to enter the fortifications, and they began to defend themselves.

The headquarters of the 109th Division is located in an underground bunker in Dashi Village, which was quickly built by the engineer wing, and the division commander Anan Weiji and the personnel of the division headquarters are here.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, at present, the 31st Brigade has suffered more than 1,000 casualties, the 118th Brigade has suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and we have lost more than 4,000 people, of which 1,005 whites have been killed and more than 2,700 wounded.

The chief of staff of the 109th Division, Kuramo Zhouzang, was reporting the casualties of the troops in the underground bunker at this time, and in a short three-day battle, the casualties of the 109th Division reached more than 4,000 people, which made Cangmao Zhouzang extremely shocked, and these more than 4,000 casualties were those of the 31st Brigade and the 118th Brigade, and he had not yet counted the casualties of the divisional headquarters and the troops directly under the division.

Cangmao Shuzang is a professional staff officer, and he knows very well that if the losses of the rest of the divisions are counted, the casualties of the 109th Division will definitely exceed 5,000 at present, which is almost one-third of the casualties of the 109th Division.

"How could there be such a large number of casualties?" Anan Weiji also knew that his troops suffered a lot of casualties, but he didn't expect his troops to suffer such heavy casualties.

After hearing Cangmao Zhouzang's report, he couldn't help but stand up, with a shocked expression on his face.

"Sun Weiguo's honorary second division is good at defense, they occupy the heights of Hutou Mountain in this operation, and there is artillery to help, so we will have such a large casualty, and they also have armored troops, Sun Weiguo in the use of armored tactics, is worthy of our attention, at present we are still unable to effectively deal with Sun Weiguo's armored troops."

Cangmao Shuzang lowered his head, and he reported softly.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, according to the reports of various departments, we have annihilated at least more than 2,000 people of the Honorary Second Division, and according to the current situation, we are only on a par with them, and I believe that in future battles, we will definitely be able to gain an advantage." A staff officer saw that the expression on Anan Weiji's face was not very good, and he immediately said.

Anan Wei's brows furrowed tightly, the expression on his face was not very good, and he had doubts about the record of annihilating more than 2,000 people of the Honorary Second Division.

What's more, there are still more than 2,000 wounded in the 109th Division, which makes Anan Weiji very worried, he knows that his 109th Division must rest and recuperate.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the 26th Division has sent an urgent message for help, their division headquarters has suffered a blow, the commander of the Houguan Chun Division has now withdrawn to Dai County, he has lost contact with the 26th Division, and the commander of the Houguan Chun Division hopes that we can quickly send troops to rescue the troops of the 26th Division."

A staff officer in charge of communications walked quickly to Anan Weiji, holding a telegram in his hand, and after saluting Anan Weiji, the staff officer immediately reported.

Anan Weiji took the message and looked at it, and after seeing the contents of the message, his brows furrowed tightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Now the 109th Division is in some trouble, and then Guan Chun hopes that the 109th Division will send troops to rescue the 26th Division, which makes Anan Wei extremely difficult.

"How many other troops are there on the periphery?" After reading the message, Anan looked towards Kuramo Zhouzang, and he immediately asked.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there are thousands of that troops on the periphery, and they also have tanks and armored vehicles." Kuramo Shuzo immediately replied.
