After the shells, a huge cloud of fire and smoke was raised, and although it did not blow up the Ikeda team, it woke up the Ikeda team at once.

"Enemy attack-" "Enemy attack-" came the panicked shouts and running sounds of Japanese soldiers, and they all seemed to sense that this was the Chinese army testing artillery, and at any time, these shells would hit their piles of people.

Xiao Shui was watching Wang Yifei's direction, because only Wang Yifei could see how much error the shell was.

Xiao Mu stood up, waved a small red flag at Xiao Shui, and waved it three times to the left, meaning that the shell needed to move another 300 meters to the left.

At this time, the sentry of the devil also found Xiao Shui, and the rifle and machine gun bullets shot towards Xiao Shui like crazy.

Xiao Shui stood up again, because of this place, Heijiashan saw it most clearly. He was going to wave this small red flag to show the direction to the artillery of Heijiashan.

As soon as Xiao Shui stood up, he immediately fell down again. A 38-style rifle bullet pierced his lungs, and he struggled to breathe for a while, and then there was no sign of life.

Xiao Mu didn't wait for Wang Yifei to give an order, so he ran in the direction of Xiao Shui like a flawless deer. During the run, the devil spotted him, 38 rifle bullets, machine gun bullets danced around him, and strings of red flowers on the ground were stirred up, that is, the red soil was hit by bullets and flew up.

didn't run far, and Xiaomu also fell headlong and never got up again.

The devils also discovered Wang Yifei's observation post, a small team, and launched an attack on them. Another soldier stood up and wanted to wave the flag to Heijiashan, but as soon as he stood up, he was immediately knocked to the ground by a torrential rain of bullets.

When the devil rushed to him, forty or fifty meters, Wang Yifei yelled: "Hit, hit me hard-"

So seven or eight assault rifles roared at once, and the devils fell twenty or so in an instant.

This made Wang Yifei very excited and shouted: "These assault rifles are indeed much stronger than Zhongzheng, and the firepower is too powerful." ”

Just when Wang Yifei was happy, a bullet came, Wang Yifei was shot in the chest, and the blood immediately stained his grass-green coat.

Wang Yifei endured the severe pain, took off his grass-green military uniform, stood up shirtless, and continued to wave his blood-dyed red coat, towards the left, three times in succession.

A minute later, four 105-mm shells flew towards the camp of Ikeda's brigade, and a moment later, four more ...... A continuous stream of shells swept away the Devil Brigade.

The hills also have a long-standing legend that conveys an even more thrilling imagination, it is said that it was originally a yellow, dedicated to the confrontation of the heavenly court, and at the moment when it was finally locked by the gods, it still rolled and undulated, soaring and twisting, although its head was broken and bleeding, but it was still in a final battle with fate. When it finally topple over, its body instantly turned into an undulating hill, and those places that were soaked with blood condensed into patches of ochre-red soil.

When Ikeda's brigade entered the predetermined position, it was heavily bombarded by the Chinese army's Heijiashan position, and the leader of the 2nd Machine Gun Squadron, Hashiguchi and Captain Xiong, were killed on the spot, with a total of more than 200 officers and men suffering casualties.

The ferocious Ikeda Brigade fired 28 poison shells and 52 grenades at the Heijiashan position, enveloping the Heijiashan position in a cloud of yellow poisonous smoke. Fortunately, anti-poison preparations had been made in the mountains for a long time, and anti-poison measures were quickly carried out.

Although the artillerymen suffered little losses, they were also forced to stop firing.

Although the situation of the Imamura detachment was not good, the Japanese navy relied on its superiority to drop bombs and bomb all day long, and the 11th Sentai bombarded the Xiangshan and Zhaishan batteries with its naval guns, and the 1st and 4th sub-stations of the Tianjiazhen fortress were destroyed by enemy artillery fire. To the southeast, the Japanese Tushi troops were approaching the Xiangshan Fort less than 3,000 meters away. The Japanese army had tightly surrounded the fortress. The Xiangshan and Zhaishan forts had no choice but to fire warning artillery all night toward the main roads on the river and land to prevent the enemy from smuggling and sneaking attacks.

Xuda's air force formation also rose into the air, preparing to attack the Japanese 11th Fleet, but the 11th Fleet continued to adopt the previous tactics and constantly besieged Xuda's air formation with a small force of aviation. The first batch of planes was shot down by missiles, and the next batch was carried out until the missiles of the Xuda aviation formation were exhausted.

Xu Da's aviation formation had no choice but to fly back to its base.

At this time, on the Chinese defenders' side, the 9th Division had basically lost its combat effectiveness, and only the 25th Regiment of the 50th Brigade remained intact, holding the south bank of Makou Lake to ensure the retreat of the Chinese army. The 57th Division had no mobile forces, and its 342nd and 339th regiments were completely wounded and wounded, the 337th Regiment was holding the Houbi Mountain position, and the 340th and 341st regiments were holding the core position of the fortress.

Li Yannian felt that the general situation had turned, and ordered the 9th and 57th Divisions to shorten the battle line and connect the following points into a row to form a new defensive line. Yuping Mountain - Chen Weiwei Bay - Xiban - Mawanshan - Quanshuiwa - Yuanjiawan. The defensive line was connected from the north of Yuping Mountain to Makou Lake, and was actually a deployment to prepare for a gradual retreat to the northwest.

Beginning in the early morning of the 28th, the main force of the 2nd Wing of the Independent Mountain Artillery near Shaziyuan, the gunboats of the 11th Sentai on the Yangtze River, and dozens of artillery pieces of the Japanese Navy's Shanglu Mountain Artillery near Shangzhou were aimed at the core position of Tianjiazhen and carried out wanton and indiscriminate bombardment.

The shells of the batteries rained down, and the core fortifications, battery emplacements and command posts of the fortress in Tianjiazhen were all destroyed by enemy artillery fire. The entire fortress position turned into a sea of fire. Rear Admiral Mei Yiping, commander of the naval garrison of the fortress, and Qin Desheng, commander of the fort, and others held their gun positions and died one after another.

After the extended artillery attack, the Japanese marines began to move and launched an attack on Tianjia Town and the core area of the fortress from the southeast and due south. After the 337th Regiment withdrew on its own initiative, the Xumu troops from Wuxue followed the advance in the mountain pass, and at dawn broke through the Taelaoshan Mountain north of Houbi Mountain, and further occupied Snake Mountain. At the same time, the Tushi troops attacking along the river bank were also heading to the Xiangshan Battery.

At 6 o'clock, the 1st Wing of the Taiwan Infantry of the Japanese Hatan Detachment in Fuchikou sent a death squad of more than 100 people, divided into more than 20 motorboats, and under the cover of aircraft and artillery fire, forcibly landed near Pantang, fought fiercely with the 3rd Battalion of the 340th Regiment, and was completely annihilated by the defenders.

In land battles, the Imamura detachment was bogged down and fought hard, while the attacks of the Japanese naval forces were smoother.

The Xumu troops attacked Yangcheng Mountain from Da Lao Mountain, and at 13 o'clock, Yangcheng Mountain fell. At the same time, the Tushi troops and the Shanglushan artillery advanced northward from Shangzhoutou and Zhoujiashan, and fiercely attacked one company of the 57th Division in Shanggong Chenjiazui, and the defenders suffered casualties.

The Tushi troops then approached the Xiangshan Fort and formed a melee with the garrison of the 57th Division.

The 11th Sentai also drew hundreds of personnel from various ships to form a joint marine corps, divided into dozens of motorboats, landed at Shangzhoutou, and stormed the line of Shanggong and Chenjiazui, because the 2nd Battalion and 5th Company of the 340th Regiment of the defending army suffered all casualties, so they were forced to retreat to the line of Taoyuan, Yejiajia, and Tushan.

At the same time, the guns of the 11th Sentai on the Yangtze River wantonly bombarded the two forts of Xiangshan and Zhaishan, destroying one more artillery and blowing up two ammunition depots. The attack of the Japanese naval forces not only tore through the defense system of Tianjiazhen from the side, but also moved the confidence of the Chinese defenders in defense.

The 1st Infantry Wing of Taiwan at Fuchikou was not willing to be defeated, and landed from Pantang with the direct support of 5 ships of several hundred people who had advanced to Ke Liuying, and fought a bloody battle for one hour, and Pantang was lost.

At this point, the outer defense system of Tianjia Town was all broken, and the Japanese army had reached the core of the fortress defense system.

Chiang Kai-shek, after learning about the latest situation of the war, sent a telegram in the early morning of the 29th, "Transfer troops, consolidate the northern front, and transfer the 11th Army Corps to the Shangba River for rectification."

Li Pinxian was immediately ordered to abandon the fortress. According to the order, Li Yannian began to organize the remnants to move one after another, and sent a force with the 57th Division to seize the Makou Pass Road and serve as a cover for the main retreat.

After dawn on the 29th, the Japanese Navy and Army began to attack the core position of Tianjiazhen with all its might. By this time, however, the Chinese troops had withdrawn, and the Tushi troops captured the Xiangshan Fort at 8:30 a.m. When the defenders retreated, some parts such as artillery bolts were removed, and the rest were poured into aqua regia to corrode them so as not to feed the enemy.

On the Heijiashan position, there seemed to be no situation, and there was a scuffle outside the position: the Japanese marines were attacking all the batteries in Tianjiazhen with all their might, and the heavy artillery of the Japanese Third Fleet on the Yangtze River was carrying out a fierce bombardment towards the batteries and core positions in Tianjiazhen, so that almost all the positions of the national army were under heavy artillery fire.

The positions of Heijia Mountain and Lujia Mountain are like a few lonely boats, floating alone in the sea, and the sea is about to turn over.

Han Xing looked at this battlefield full of artillery fire, wandering around the position, and felt very anxious in his heart, it was time to study the next battle plan, where should the Southern Expeditionary Army go?

There were several groups of officers and men wearing the uniforms of the Southern Expeditionary Army shuttling between the positions, some officers and men holding on, and some officers and men moving, which was normal and did not attract anyone's attention.

They are getting closer and closer to the headquarters, and they are getting closer and closer to Han Xing.

Zhang Xiaosan, who was not far from Han Xing, was watching this qiē with his vigilant eyes. He went back and was under the protection of Han Xing, so Zhang Weihan left him by Han Xing's side. Zhang Xiaosan was in the habit of his profession, and when he saw that these people were a little abnormal, he stood in front of Han Xing intentionally or unintentionally, and asked, "Which part, is there anything wrong?" ”

The other side replied: "Those directly under the second battalion are ordered to be transferred." ”

This sentence was ordered to be transferred, Zhang Xiaosan became suspicious, although he couldn't intervene in political affairs, but because of his professional habits, he often pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him, stared at the surrounding crowd, and was ordered to transfer? I haven't heard of any major actions in the troops.

Even Han Xing didn't feel very pleasing to the ear, and was ordered to transfer? I haven't mobilized my troops yet!

Zhang Xiaosan saw that the three or four people on the opposite side were a little angry, and asked, "Which one is in which row?" What is the battalion commander called? What is the company commander called? ”

"For three companies and one platoon, the battalion commander is called Sun Sanmin, and the company commander is called Wang Jindou." The man in the lead walked as he walked, but he still quickly led these people towards here, and seeing that he was about to arrive, he pulled out his gun and shot at Han Xing.

Zhang Xiaosan couldn't see it well, so he threw Han Xing to the ground at once, and several guards around Han Xing stood in front while pulling out their guns.

"Horn! Trumpet! "Horn! Trumpet! Trumpet! "Because the people who came to attack had already prepared and the guns were well fired, several people who were blocking Han Xing's side fell.

As soon as the shots rang out, more guards rushed over, drawing their guns and shooting, and engaged the attackers.

The officers and men of the Southern Expedition on the battlefield saw that the officers and men wearing the clothes of the Southern Expeditionary Army were fighting, and they could not figure out which was the enemy and which was the friend, and they were dumbfounded for a moment and did not know which one to help.

Zhang Xiaosan had an old idea, that is, to suppress Han Xing and protect Han Xing, as if other people had nothing to do with him.
