The two brigades of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, with 27 tanks on the road, launched an indomitable large-scale charge, took the lead in occupying the blazing positions where there were no more defenders left, crossed the Xiongguan with an unstoppable momentum, and launched a fierce charge against the defenders who were hurriedly responding to the battle in various positions in the pass.

After completing the bombing mission, the first batch of more than 60 Japanese planes flew over the battlefield again after returning to replenish and launched a saturation bombardment of the 32 nd Army's deep positions.

Shang Zhen, who was urgently deploying troops to reinforce him, was already powerless, so he could only lead the remnants to fight and retreat. At this point, Lengkou fell, from the fierce attack of the Japanese army to the rout of the defenders, it was less than two and a half hours. Shang Zhen could only lead his headquarters to retreat quickly along the line of Jianchang Camp and Qian'an, and hurriedly deployed on the right bank of the Mo River to block the Japanese attack.

At the same time that Japanese planes were carrying out large-scale and intensive bombing of Lengkou, 15,000 Japanese troops, including the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade and two wings of the Eighth Division on the front line of the Great Wall, launched artillery bombardments and feints at six passes, including Xifengkou and Jielingkou. successfully contained Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, Wan Fulin's 53rd Army, and He Zhuguo's 57th Army.

After more than 30 minutes of fierce fighting, the 63rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army broke through the right flank position of the 57th Army, and then launched a quick flank attack on the central position, and more than 30 Japanese naval aviation fighters that took off from the Bohai aircraft carrier suddenly appeared over the battlefield and repeatedly attacked the defenders who had hastily formed a second defensive position. The 57th Army, which suffered heavy casualties, was thus routed on all fronts.

In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy on the abdomen and back, the retreat route was cut off, He Zhuguo could only lead the remnants to retreat in great strides, and so far, the easternmost front dozens of kilometers of positions were all occupied by the Japanese army.

Lengkou, Yiyuankou, and Jielingkou all fell. The eastern front of the Great Wall was wide open, and Song Zheyuan's troops, who were holding the Xifeng Pass, saw the Japanese army of 20,000 Japanese troops rushing along the line of the Great Wall. Knowing that if he didn't give up Xifengkou and retreat quickly, he would be attacked by the Japanese army from north to south and surrounded in one fell swoop, so he could only give the order to retreat with hatred.

When the whole army retreated to the front line of Fengrun and Jixian to build a defensive line, the reinforcements led by Yu Xuezhong and Wang Yizhe came belatedly, without waiting for the generals of the three armies to contact and discuss. More than 120 Japanese planes swarmed in again and repeatedly bombed the defending line for more than half an hour before they calmly returned with great force.

There was a panic in the headquarters of the Baoding camp. In the name of the chairman of the Beiping Military Commission and the supreme commander of the theater, He Yingqin urgently ordered all the armies on the Eastern Front to retreat to the Mohe line and quickly build fortifications, and then walked quickly to An Yi, who was discussing nervously with Yang Jie and others, and with the support of An Yi, he urgently transferred Gu Changfeng's 44th Division and Xia Jian's 39th Division to Tongxian, which belonged to the command of Wan Fulin, the acting commander of the Northeast Army, and Yu Xuezhong, the deputy commander. It was necessary to hold the Japanese army to the east of the Luan River to buy time for the mobilization of reinforcements.

After a while, the staff officer of the headquarters took Song Zheyuan's urgent telegram demanding that Shang Zhen and He Zhuguo be severely punished and handed it to He Yingqin, who was cautious, and He Yingqin immediately came to the map to report the contents of the telegram and solicit the opinions of An Yi, Yang Jie, and Huang Shaofa.

Everyone gasped, and they all believed that this was not the time to pursue responsibility, and that it was necessary to mobilize all forces in the shortest possible time to block the offensive momentum of the Japanese army and avoid being broken by the Japanese army again, otherwise, Tianjin Beiping would be exposed to the Japanese army's artillery port, and the whole line would be defeated, and there would be no counterattack ability.

He Yingqin nodded again and again after hearing this, and quickly left to call back to appease the ministries. After ascending to a high position, He Yingqin, who was pampered and pampered, no longer had the sharpness of the Northern Expedition, so it was very difficult for him to make important decisions. He definitely did a better job than Yang Jie and Huang Shaofa, and he did it smarter.

"Brother An, Shang Zhen has always been known for his steadiness and wisdom, how could he suddenly be beaten like this? How can it be said that there are more than 30,000 people in all the departments under his command! Huang Shaofa asked in a low voice.

An Yi corrected: "We have been fighting for days for a month. The officers and men of the 32nd Army were already quite tired, and at the beginning of the month, the 32nd Army took the initiative to attack and recapture the Lengkou forward position in one fell swoop, paying a considerable price, and the number of officers and men was already less than 30,000. Under normal circumstances, if the Japanese army wants to break through the three lines of defense of the 32nd Army, it is difficult to complete it without paying the price of 20,000 lives, but no one expected it this time. The Japanese army went so far as to concentrate all the planes of the three northeastern provinces and use them, taking advantage of the short distance and high frequency of take-off and landing at Jinzhou Airport, to launch round after round of wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the cold port line.

"In my analysis of the rout of the defenders. It is estimated that the Japanese army's aerial bombs were not finished dropping, and dozens of tanks on the ground rushed to the position of the 32nd Army, and the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who had quietly gathered in front of everyone's eyes followed closely behind. Under such a fierce and sudden blow, no matter how capable the Jin Sui army is, it can't stop the Japanese army, Shang Zhenneng can lead a division and a half to retreat to the Luan River to deploy defense on the spot, which is already very remarkable, compared with the Northeast Army, which is better and which is inferior at a glance! ”

Yang Jie nodded frequently: "Yes!" At this time, there is no general collapse, and you can still assemble calmly, quickly deploy, and ...... With Shang Zhen's excellent command ability and unruly harmony in the face of danger, the public is also the reason why I want to hold him accountable

"We can all see this, why is General Mingxuan (Song Zheyuan), who took the initiative to evacuate the front line of Xifengkou after seeing the situation clearly, still so angry? . Huang Shaofa asked.

An Yi replied a little helplessly: "Just think about the bloody battles of the 29th Army in the past few months. You can understand General Song's mood, the 29th Army, which was originally in the front position of the entire defensive line, was under the greatest pressure, and exchanged fire with the Japanese army on the opposite side almost every day, and in the face of the fierce blows of the Japanese aircraft and artillery again and again, they also guarded the Xifengkou line steadily, without leakage, but because of the fall of Lengkou and Yiyuankou, in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, they could only withdraw from Xiongguan with hatred, and their mood was understandable, and I believe that soon General Song will be able to calm down. ”

Yang Jie also had similar thoughts to An Yi, and at the same time felt a deep headache about the sudden change of the Japanese army's style of play: "The armies on the Eastern Front are brave and tenacious, dare to fight any vicious battles, and have not let the Japanese army get closer to the Great Wall for several months, but no one expected that the Japanese army would complete a large-scale deployment of troops in just one night, from the original frequent attacks at multiple points to a fierce attack on two points, and the gathering of hundreds of fighters did not make our armies feel that this made the 32nd Army, which has strong fortifications and layers of in-depth defense, The 53rd Army and the 57th Army were instantly defeated. Speaking of which, we also have a certain responsibility

An Yi raised his eyebrows, annoyed: "What responsibility?" Where does our Central Army come from the responsibility? If I really want to be held responsible, I An Yi has no responsibility at all, wearing the big hat of a former enemy commander-in-chief is useless, and the armies will give me half of face except for asking me for money and food? I won't mention the shamelessness of Tang Yulin and Wang Yizhe, but I will only talk about the Dongqian battlefield, and half a month ago I took the three defense plans to the military enlargement meeting for discussion. One of the plans focuses on what to do after the Great Wall is lost. Both of you were in the meeting, and you don't remember, who did you say valued my opinion? I'm afraid that the flat plan may be taken to wipe the buttocks. Isn't it to be held accountable at this time? If I want to say that I will be held responsible, I am stunned that I will hold others responsible, my five divisions and 6 divisions have arrived in Hankou for nearly 20 days, and so far only Xia Jian's 39th division has been transported to me, and the 16th division of Xie Chi led by Yin Jinan rushed to Shijiazhuang last night, if I hadn't intercepted two trains in Baoding, I'm afraid that I won't be able to reach Langfang at this time tomorrow, and the other three divisions have not yet arrived in Zhengzhou. ”

He Yingqin, who came back from the telecommunications room, had already stood aside and listened, seeing An Yi's annoyed appearance, he didn't dare to touch his moldy head, and when An Yi finished complaining, He Yingqin coughed lightly, and stepped forward to ask An Yi kindly:

"General Shi, you, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, are still very important, but you can't affect the overall situation because of a momentary anger, haha! I have an idea to transfer Lu Yixuan's 17th Division, which is resting in Changping, to the Eastern Front, what do you think? ”

An Yi didn't think about it, and immediately refused: "The Seventeenth Division is definitely not good, and the recruitment and replenishment have just been completed." Nearly half of the soldiers can't even hold their guns steadily, so if they are transferred to the front line at this time, won't they be sent to death? Several divisions of the 17th Army can't move, if there is another bad news from Gubeikou, it won't be as simple as a national shock, not to mention that the 8th Division and the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army have been assembled outside the pass, who dares to guarantee that there will be no situation? With its transfer as a reserve of the XVII Division. It is better to transfer the 16th Division of the 24th Army, which has just arrived at the Langfang camp, to the front line, all of them are veterans, and they can fight a tough battle if they are pulled up

He Yingqin was very happy: "Originally, I also had this intention, but I was worried that Yin Jinan and General Xie Chi were too tired from their long journey and needed a few days to rest, so General An agreed?"

An Yi sighed: "Old sir, at the moment of the great enemy, An Yi still knows the priorities, as long as it is beneficial to the war and the overall situation, the old chief can give orders." ”

He Yingqin was stunned for a moment, and wanted to stretch out his hand and pat An Yi to show his gratitude, but he didn't have the courage to hand it out halfway, smiled awkwardly, turned around and left to give the order.

Yang Jie and Huang Shaofa looked at each other and smiled, and Huang Shaofa asked, "Brother, what should I do next?"

An Yi replied without hesitation: "What else can I do?" Fight back! When the three divisions of the younger brother arrive, and the younger brother personally goes up to command, I don't believe that little Japan can stand on its feet, ***! In less than four days, several of my divisions will be in place, 80,000 soldiers will deal with him, 50,000 or 60,000 small Japan, and 450,000 General Shang Zhen and Song Zheyuan, rushing up and strangling Bu Japan with their hands! ”

Huang Shaofa's eyebrows fluttered, and he laughed loudly: "My brother is really fucking kind, when the time comes, the foolish brother will go up with you, haha!" ”

Yang Jie smiled slightly, secretly sighed and turned to the map, feeling a little worried about An Yi Yang Jie estimated that An Yi did not know that the secret meeting between Chinese and Japanese diplomats was being held in Shanghai, and he did not know that the reason why Chairman Chiang left Baoding and flew back with confidence was that he had already planned to make a contract with Japan, and following the principle of "fighting outside and securing the interior", Chiang Kai-shek focused more on exterminating the increasingly powerful Red Army.
