The soldiers again showed a quality far superior to that of the Chinese soldiers tonight, and while Wang 15's army was still on the way, the three brigades led by Miura rushed to Qiaojiatun before dawn to repel Cao Yulou, and then moved eastward. /。 qВ５、cOm/

This situation made Zhuang Jihua's heart tighten, and he repeatedly ordered Zheng Dongguo to strengthen the offensive and be sure to attract Miura to his direction. Zheng Dongguo's 2nd Division launched a counteroffensive at Tangtun and Hongjiadian.

Zheng Dongguo has been guarding Tangtun and Hongjiadian in the past few days, and the Japanese army has continued to attack these two positions, and the positions have changed hands several times, and on two occasions he personally led the troops to counterattack before retaking the positions.

After receiving Zhuang Jihua's order, Zheng Dongguo concentrated the whole division, the fourth brigade killed Hongjiadian, and the sixth brigade killed Tangtun to counterattack the Japanese army.

In the face of Zheng Dongguo's counterattack, the 21st Wing Wing Captain Li Fan was a little helpless, a few days ago he had three brigades in his hands, so he could suppress Zheng Dongguo to fight, but now the three brigades in his hand were withdrawn one, only two brigades remained, in the face of the attack of 8,000 people in the second division, his troops of less than 2,000 people could only resist left and right, and Li Fan repeatedly complained to Itagaki in an emergency.

After Guan Linzheng occupied Sanhe Street, he continued to attack northward, conquered Xinzhao on the right flank, and joined Tan Zhenren of the new 38th Division, and Dai Anlan of Nanfang also killed Nanfang and attacked the retreating Japanese army.

Itagaki looked around, he now had some experience of Suematsu's mood when he was in Guangde, the squadron attacked from all sides, and although he saw the intention of the squadron, he could not break it, he could only parry passively, and even if he parried passively, it would take the Chinese side to make a serious mistake, so he had a little chance.

The battle situation was not chaotic, the squadron attacked fiercely in three directions, the Miura counterattack temporarily alleviated the crisis of the 9th Wing, the main force of the New 22nd Division was forced to transfer to block Miura, Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army took over the defense area of the New 22nd Division, still surrounding the 9th Brigade; Miura and Liao Yaoxiang are glued together.

Itagaki realized that there was a great danger and could not go down like this, and the air force sent information that a large number of troops were moving upstream to the east of the river, and Itagaki understood that he was rushing to Baisha Town at this time.

"Division commander, we must retreat." Despite his reluctance, Chief of Staff Nishimura made this suggestion with difficulty, but none of the young officers around him, who had always been radical, came forward to refute it.

"But what about the Ninth Wing?" The chief of staff of the 16th Division, Mitsuo Nakazawa, was a little anxious. The commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Isago was commanding the troops at the front. Block Guan Linzheng and Sun Liren. Here there is only him, the chief of staff. He couldn't help but show up.

"If you can save it, you can save it. It can't just let them attract the Chinese army. Cover the main force of the division to break through. "Nishimura is very bitter. As a senior military officer, it is very difficult to make such trade-offs.

"Bastard! They were all imperial warriors. You can't just throw them away! Nakazawa shouted angrily. He was very dissatisfied. The 16th Division moved south. As a result, the 5th Division was saved. but they trapped.

"Shoot!" Itagaki slammed his palm on the table: "Bastard! You are a high-ranking Imperial officer. Don't you know for the sake of victory. Sometimes there is a price to pay. The Teijin are sacrifices for the Empire. ”

That being said. Itagaki was also full of a sense of failure in his heart. Such a retreat can only be called a failure. His majesty is about to be destroyed under this city.

"Command Nakajima-kun. Unified command of the retreat of the troops of the Southern Front. Establish a blocking position on the front line of Zhongwangzhuang. Blocking the Chinese army. The 21st Wing was also placed under the command of Nakajima-kun. Miura was ordered to act resolutely. It is necessary to break through today. Open a gap. Clearance for the 9th Wing. ”

Itagaki was determined that this was the last attempt to break the siege, and if it didn't work, he had to give up. But as soon as his words fell, Nishimura couldn't help but remind: "What about Baisha?" The Chinese army is moving towards Baisha. ”

"Qiuyuan has two brigades, he can hold Baisha." Ban's eyelids didn't move, and he said strongly, but he knew very well in his heart that at least one army of the Hedong squadron was moving towards Baishabu, and the two brigades had only more than 1,000 people, and the disparity in strength was too great, and even if Baisha was held, one army was blocked in Baisha, and it would be equally difficult for the main force of the division to pass.

Nishimura opened his mouth, but he was still silent. Nakazawa breathed a sigh of relief, this was already the best effort that the board had made.

With Itagaki's order, the Japanese army began to retreat on the battlefield. The movement of the Japanese army was quickly detected by the squadron, and Zhuang Jihua and others, who had not slept all night, quickly perked up after receiving the report, and joy rose in the command headquarters.

"They can't hold it." Pang Bingxun was excited, and the wrinkles on his face blossomed. In his opinion, the board has been holding on, and now this kid finally can't hold it anymore.

But Zhuang Jihua was a little anxious: "Ask by telegram, where has the 85th Army arrived?" Why hasn't Baishabu been controlled yet? ”

Itagaki's actions showed that he had realized that his campaign intentions would be in vain if he were allowed to escape unharmed.

"Telegraph to Wang Zhonglian, speed up, Itagaki has already sensed our intentions, and Baishabu may already be guarded by Japanese troops."

On the battlefield, the Japanese army retreated step by step, Guan Linzheng, Sun Liren and Dai Anlan met at Bali Guanzhuang, Zhuang Jihua ordered Guan Linzheng to command all units in a unified manner, and at the same time reminded Guan Linzheng to pay attention to the 21st Wing on Zheng Dongguo's side.

“… The Japanese army has not yet been fully assembled, so it is possible to consider annihilating the 21st Wing first and forming an encirclement in the east and west

Retreat to the ground pace.

…

After receiving the order, Guan Linzheng adjusted his deployment and returned Zheng Bicheng's brigade to the new 38th Division, under the command of Sun Liren to continue the attack on Zhongwangzhuang, and the 75th Brigade led by division commander Zhang Yaoming detoured to Zhuxia and Qufang to attack to the northeast, trying to bypass Zhongwangzhuang and join up with Zheng Dongguo, who was attacking Xiaolizhuang.

As soon as Nakajima's troops retreated to Nakaoso, he immediately received an order from Itagaki to send a brigade from him to Kosato to support Kurihan. Zheng Dongguo's offensive was fierce, he repeatedly attacked Kurihara at any cost, the sixth brigade defeated the Asahara brigade in Xiaoxinghua Village, Asahara led his troops to retreat to Xiaolizhuang, Deng Shifu led the sixth brigade to follow the pursuit, all the way to Xiaolizhuang, Zheng Dongguo put the battalion and guard company directly under the division into battle, blocking Asahara's retreat east of Xiaolizhuang.

The remnants of Asahara were surrounded outside Xiaolizhuang, and Asahara was in a hurry, and concentrated a squadron to rescue Xiaolizhuang, but it was firmly blocked by the 128th Regiment of the Fourth Brigade, Zhong Zuyin took the opportunity to command the 129th Regiment to enter Xiaolizhuang from the north, and the battle line of Lifan was immediately broken. Kurikhan hurriedly ordered the troops who rushed out to retreat to Kosato, and at the same time urgently asked for help from Itagaki.

The defeat of Xiaolizhuang made Zhongdao unable to hold in Zhongwangzhuang, Xiaolizhuang was in the back road of Zhongwangzhuang, once Xiaolizhuang was lost, only Yuejiawu was left in Zhongdao's retreat, and it was passed under the attack of the front and rear squadrons, even if it could escape, the loss would be amazingly large.

Nakajima immediately transferred the reserve riverside brigade to support, and at the same time began to arrange for the troops to retreat, he left the 38th Wing to block the new 38th Division, and he led two brigades to reinforce Kurihan.

Wang Zhonglian received a telegram from Zhuang Jihua at Tingzitou: The troops were rushing to cross the river, Japanese planes were bombing in the sky, ferries were coming and going on the river to transport troops, and sappers were busy building bridges on another section of the river, and bombs were setting off huge water columns from time to time. Dozens of machine guns on both sides of the strait formed an anti-air fire network, but they still could not stop the Japanese planes from bombing.

"Order the avant-garde regiment to rush to Baisha first, if Baisha has been occupied by the Japanese army, don't attack easily, and wait for the arrival of the large army to make a decision."

The avant-garde regiment rushed to Baisha under the leadership of regiment commander Tian Dayou, and when it arrived outside the town, the vanguard company saw that the Japanese army was busy building fortifications in Baisha Town.

"Commander, it seems that the devil has just arrived." Qi Sanzhu, the commander of the vanguard company, said eagerly: "Let's attack first and see how many devils there are." ”

Tian Dayou carefully looked at the Japanese soldiers who were sweating and digging trenches, these soldiers were very hard, the guns were on the side, many people stripped naked, there were not many people at the entrance of the town, only fifty or sixty people, the town was blocked by houses, and it was not clear to see, only felt that there were a lot of faint people.

Putting away the binoculars, Tian Dayou shook his head: "I'm afraid there is a large team, send people to quietly go around the east and west to have a look." ”

Qi Sanzhu nodded and was about to leave, a group of cavalry rushed out of the town and stopped at the entrance of the town, a group of officers got off the horse, and the soldiers who were digging trenches immediately stopped their work on the ground and saluted them.

"Sanzhu, don't go, these are two big Zuo, at least two brigades, fast enough." Tian Dayou scolded hatefully, then quietly leaned down and quietly left along Tian Kan.

Not to mention two brigades, even one brigade is something that their regiment can deal with. Back in the regiment, Tian Dayou immediately reported the situation to Wang Zhonglian, Wang Zhonglian knew that he was delayed, but he still reported the situation to Zhuang Jihua, and at the same time promised Zhuang Jihua to take Baishabu tonight and close the door for Itagaki to escape.

That night, Wang Zhonglian commanded the 85th Army to launch a night attack on Baisha Town from the south and east, but when the troops moved into Baisha Port, they fell into an ambush by the Japanese army, and almost all the assault companies were killed.

After Wang Zhonglian lost two companies, he became angry and changed his sneak attack to a strong attack, and Baishabu suddenly burst into flames, the sound of guns and cannons pierced the sky, and the two sides forgot to die and fought fiercely.

More than 10,000 soldiers of the New 22nd Division firmly blocked Miura, and 16,000 people of the 59th Army surrounded the Ninth Wing to the death, and the three brigades in the encirclement were blocked by them several times.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zizhong adjusted his tactics, concentrated two brigades of Huang Weigang's division and the 13th cavalry brigade of the 38th Division, and first attacked the Guancun brigade, which had suffered a great loss in strength, and fought fiercely until midnight, and the Guancun brigade was completely annihilated. Zhang Zizhong did not stop his sword, and immediately attacked the other two brigades.

The collapse of the Sekimura Brigade finally prompted Itagaki to make up his mind to abandon the 9th Wing, and he strictly ordered the 9th Wing to attract the squadron, and ordered Miura to immediately lead his troops to retreat to Baishabu, and be sure to hold Baishabu and respond to the retreat of the 16th Division; In addition, Nakajima was ordered to alternate cover and retreat to Baisha.

Miura sighed when he received the telegram, and silently saluted the place where the fierce gunfire rang out from the Ninth Wing, and then led his troops to retreat to the southeast. Zhongwangzhuang also gave up in the same night, and Sun Liren also did not feel the Japanese army's move.
