Yicheng, an ancient small city on the edge of the Han River, like other cities in China, surrounded by four city walls, the city gate tower is simple and majestic, and the eaves are like a big peng spreading its wings and ready to fly; The mottled carvings fill the vicissitudes of time, and in the early morning sun, they exude the brilliance of history. Uchiyama Eitaro didn't have the heart to admire this ancient Chinese culture at all, he paced back and forth at the head of the city restlessly, and from time to time cast his anxious eyes on the outside of the city, the north and south sides of the cannon fire were getting closer and closer, especially in the south, the gunfire was the majority, and it was speeding towards this side.

Although Yamamoto's troops were successfully rescued, the overall situation of the battle did not change fundamentally. The troops were still caught in the north and south of the Chinese army, and the Chinese concentrated 15 troops against his 30,000 troops, and if they could not cross the Han River as soon as possible, then this ancient city would be the burial place of him and his 30,000 soldiers.

A ray of sunlight shone on him, a little warm, but Uchiyama looked up at the rising sun in disgust, and now he hated this ray of sunshine very much, with this ray of sunshine, the Chinese air force will soon come to this ancient city.

"Division commander, Kanda-kun called and ordered us to cross the river immediately." The chief of staff, Akinaga Ri Daisa, walked over quickly and handed him the telegram in his hand.

"Is there a telegram in Wuhan?" Uchiyama did not look at it, but pinched the telegram in his hand.

Qiu Yongli shook his head silently, Uchiyama stopped speaking, turned to face the outside of the city, was silent for a while, and patted lightly on the battlement. It is easy to cross the river as soon as possible, but now the Chinese army is attacking fiercely, and it is impossible to cross the river at all; Moreover, once the river crossing operation was launched, it would be difficult for the troops left behind to escape from the siege of the Chinese army.

"Kanda-kun's offensive on the east bank is going well, and he has successfully broken through the two lines of defense of the Shina Army." Qiu Yongli said.

"Smooth" Uchiyama's tone was a little strange, Qiu Yongli was a little frustrated, he originally wanted to reconcile the atmosphere, but Uchiyama didn't appreciate it, in fact, everyone knew that the smooth offensive of Kanda was just an illusion, and the Chinese army that had annihilated the 39th Division was coming from all directions, and if Kanda couldn't conquer Zhongxiang within three days, he would not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated. "The commander of the division, I think that we should cross the river as soon as possible according to Kanda-kun's orders." Qiu Yongli spoke again. Last night, Anan sent a telegram from Wuhan, asking the 13th Division to relieve Yamamoto's siege, but in fact Uchiyama was reluctant to go to Zhengji, he believed that Yamamoto should be used to drag the southern line of the Chinese army, and the main force of the 13th Division took advantage of this gap to immediately cross the river and chase after the 9th Division. However, this suggestion was severely reprimanded by Anami, and Uchiyama had no choice but to send the reserve team Yoshio Tachibana to relieve Yamamoto's siege.

This action delayed the 13th Division's crossing of the river overnight, and at the same time led to serious consequences, that is, the 100,000 troops that were originally attracted by Yamamoto were now all pounced, and it was even more difficult to cross the river again.

"The commander of the division, Commander Anan called, asking us to cross the river immediately after rescuing Yamamoto, just cross the river in Yicheng, and go south immediately after crossing the river, according to intelligence, there is only one local security regiment on the other side of the bank, and in addition, there are no government troops in Zhongxiang." Senior Staff Officer Jiro Itabashi came running briskly and reported to Uchiyama.

"Eight grids!" Uchiyama couldn't help but scold, but now he asked him to cross the river immediately, such a chaotic order, how could he carry it out

"How to cross the river and cross the river The four wings are all engaged in the battle with the Chinese army, and after a while, the Chinese air force will come over, how can we cross the river and call back, the troops are fighting with the Chinese army, crossing the river during the day, it is easy to be attacked by the Chinese air force, the logistics are difficult to preserve, and it is impossible to fight when crossing the river, I am determined to cross the river tonight."

After finishing speaking, Uchiyama was still puffing up, and Akiyama Li also agreed: "The division commander is right, it is impossible to cross the river now, the southern front is not stable, it is necessary to counterattack again, division commander, I suggest that the Hatoyama brigade be transferred from the 104th Wing to counterattack, and in addition to searching for defense on the northern front, and at the same time ordering the sappers to immediately start collecting materials for building bridges, pay attention, after the materials are collected, they must be concealed, and the Chinese Air Force will come soon."

After Banqiao left, Uchiyama said to Akiyama: "Today's attack of the Shina Army must be very fierce, we must immediately adjust the deployment, order the front line to counterattack the Shina Army, do not pursue after the counterattack is successful, the Hayabuchi Brigade immediately retreated to the east bank of Liyuqiao Lake to establish a defensive line, and the commander of the Shibata Brigade led the 104th Wing to establish a blocking position in Guojiazhou on the east bank of the Manhe River to block the pursuing Shina Army."

"Hello!" Akiyama was about to go and issue an order, but Uchiyama stopped him again, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Order the Toyama brigade to leave the city immediately and launch a counterattack against the Shina army." Akiyama hesitated, but finally nodded. The Toyama Cavalry Brigade was the division's only mobile force, and it was originally intended to counterattack before retreating, but Uchiyama apparently changed his mind, indicating that he was very worried about the situation.

Heavy horses' hooves trampled the ground, and a squad of cavalry slaughtered out of the smoke, and the swords were raised high, leaving corpses and pools of blood all the way.

The charging squadron was caught off guard, except for a few brave officers and soldiers who were not afraid and launched a blockade on the spot, but this was a minority after all, and most of the soldiers retreated in chaos.

The counterattack of the Toyama brigade was effective, and the squadron was rushed back for more than ten miles at once, and when the Chinese reinforcements came up, Toyama had already roared away. Taking advantage of this brief gap, Yamamoto and Tachibana led their troops to quickly retreat outside the city, relying on Lake Liyuqiao to establish a defensive line.

At the same time, on the Western Front, the Japanese army changed from the passive defense of the past, launched a counterattack on the whole front, and launched fierce battles with the 101st Army on the front line of Laoqishan, Yazitou and Zhujiagou.

At the foot of Fangjia Mountain, which is more than 30 miles away from the front line, there are a few lonely houses in the mountain forest, which is the home of the well-known Wang Lao Orion, who is usually rarely populated here, but recently a large number of soldiers have come here, in addition to filling these houses, a large number of tents have been set up in the woodland outside.

"What is this Zhang Lingfu going to do! Extremely daring! The last disobedience was not over, but this time it is here again! What is he going to do!"

An angry roar came from inside the house, and the soldiers standing guard outside quietly looked inside, then quickly withdrew their gaze and continued to stand guard without squinting.

"Bang dang!" Something was smashed on the ground.

"Order, Lin Yi acted as the commander of the 105th Division, removed Zhang Lingfu from his position as division commander, and escorted by the military police to the headquarters for post-war disposal!" Lan Yundong's face was red, one hand was crossed on his waist, and his chest was undulating.

"Commander, changing generals in battle, the soldiers are taboo, or telegraph Zhang Lingfu again, tell him that 104 and 109 have already retreated, and his position is too prominent, so it is better to withdraw for the time being. Fu Chang was very embarrassed, the Japanese army launched a counterattack on the whole front, in order to avoid the Japanese army's edge, Lan Yundong ordered a temporary retreat, inducing the Japanese army to continue the attack, the 104th and 109th divisions obeyed the order, but Zhang Lingfu resolutely refused, but instead called, thinking that the Japanese army launched a full-line counterattack in this situation, there must be fraud, and suggested attacking against attacking, so as not to let the Japanese army have the slightest chance to breathe.

Zhang Lingfu once again openly disobeyed orders, Lan Yundong was furious, his dissatisfaction with him could no longer be suppressed, and he was determined to remove him from his position, but Fu Chang thought about it more, Zhang Lingfu is a figure that Zhuang Jihua admires very much, he can be promoted so quickly in the 49th Group Army, it is completely Zhuang Jihua's willful behavior, of course, Zhang Lingfu himself is also very competitive, several battles, outstanding performance, in the 49th Group Army of meritocracy, quickly gained a firm foothold, and was supported by the officers and soldiers of the 105th Division. The dismissal of Zhang Lingfu from his post will certainly cause tremendous repercussions in both the upper and lower quarters, and it is very likely to affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"No! Military discipline must be taken seriously! The scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and the military discipline is unclear, which is even more taboo for soldiers!" Lan Yundong waved his hand, and his expression was extremely stern.

"Commander," Fu Chang understood Lan Yundong's thoughts, and now it was no longer a battle of orders. As the commander, the order is not stopped, and if Zhang Lingfu is not dealt with, he Lan Yundong may not be able to command this army in the future. However, he still had to persuade that now was not the time to dismiss Zhang Lingfu from his post: "Now that the war is raging at the front, changing the commander will cause the soldiers' minds to float and incur greater losses." As for Zhang Lingfu, it can be pursued after the war. ”

"After the war" Lan Yundong shook his head resolutely with a sneer: "If you don't remove him, he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause next, Chief of Staff Fu, don't say anything more, let's implement it now."

Fu Chang sighed softly, thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, if you don't take it back to the headquarters for the time being, you will be detained on the spot in the 105th Division."

Lan Yundong hesitated, Fu saw his intentions, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Commander, the current battle situation is unpredictable..."

But before he could finish speaking, Lan Yundong interrupted him: "No, this kid has fought a few beautiful battles by himself, and he won't care about leaving him on the front line."

Fu Chang understood that Zhang Lingfu was disobedient, and he actually admired this general, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll give the order."

Just when Lan Yundong and Fu Chang were discussing Zhang Lingfu's fate, Zhang Lingfu was scolding at the telephone in the command post: "Liu Xiaoguan, you listen to Lao Tzu, if you can't hold the position, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

After a few words of defense in the microphone, Zhang Lingfu's anger became even stronger: "You have few reasons, I don't care about friendly troops, and the 105th Division will never retreat!"

Putting down the phone, Zhang Lingfu angrily picked up the cup and poured a big sip of water, put down the cup, and said to Lin Yi dissatisfiedly: "**, the south has hit the city, the sound of artillery can be heard here, this old guy in the Uchiyama is fighting back at this time, it's not a retreat to have a ghost!" Let's retreat at this time, that is not his trick. ”

Lin Yi sighed, the friendly troops on both flanks retreated, the 105th Division took the front alone, the 26th Brigade pressed over, all the positions of the 105th Division were fighting fiercely, the battle has been fought until now, the 105th Division has been fighting continuously for two weeks, the loss of soldiers has reached 40%, there are only more than 10,000 people left in the division, even the regiment commander has two casualties, and the commander of the 314th Brigade Liang Guanglie (the previous text is wrong, the 367th Brigade is a subordinate of the 22nd Group Army) was wounded in yesterday's battle.

However, Lin Yi thought that Zhang Lingfu's judgment was correct, Uchiyama launched a counteroffensive at this time, and he must have ulterior motives, and he definitely didn't really want to attack, and it was more likely to cover the retreat.

Lin Yi was about to speak, when the chief of staff came in with a complicated expression, Zhang Lingfu found out, and he frowned: "What are you doing slowly, say it quickly!"

The chief of staff still didn't speak, but handed the telegram in his hand to Lin Yi, Lin Yi was a little surprised, took a look, his expression suddenly changed, Zhang Lingfu noticed something wrong, and took the telegram from Lin Yi's hand.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Lingfu was silent for a while before he spoke: "What about the military police?"

The chief of staff still didn't speak, and Zhang Lingfu was a little impatient: "Are you here?"

"Come in." The chief of staff shouted outside, but Lin Yi hurriedly stopped: "Wait, division commander, let's explain it to the commander again."

Zhang Lingfu shook his head: "I know this result, disobedience on the battlefield, if you want to replace me, I will do the same, let's carry it out." Speaking of this, he said solemnly: "Brother Lin, we can't withdraw now, we have suffered great losses, and the losses of Uchiyama are equally large, even if we fight our 105th Division, as long as we drag Uchiyama and annihilate the 13th Division on the west bank of the Han River, we will win this battle."

"Division commander, don't be busy yet, let's call the commander to explain, the biggest thing is that we will retreat according to the order." Lin Yi said.

"Retreat! Absolutely not!" Zhang Lingfu flatly refused: "Until the war has been fought until now, those of us who are soldiers are all guilty and deserve to die." I will die and the country will survive, Brother Lin, hold on, I firmly believe that my judgment is correct, now is the critical moment of the battle, and resisting is victory. ”

Speaking of this, he solemnly saluted Lin Yi: "Please, Brother Lin."

Lin Yi and the officers in the command post raised their hands at the same time, and Zhang Lingfu turned around and shouted outside the door: "Gendarme, come in."

The gendarmes ran in from outside the door, and Zhang Lingfu said loudly: "Order, escort Zhang Lingfu, an officer who violated the order, to the headquarters to report."

The gendarmes looked at each other a little at a loss, and Zhang Lingfu strode towards the door: "Execute the order, go!"

After Zhang Lingfu's back disappeared, Lin Yi lowered his arm, turned his head and said sharply to the chief of staff: "Call back to the headquarters, our department will fight to the last man, and we will definitely drag down the inner mountain to create favorable conditions for the total annihilation of the enemy's 13th division."

Zhang Lingfu's dismissal from his post not only did not affect the morale of the 105th Division, but the officers and men of the division surged with tragedy in their hearts, and the officers and men of the division shouted, "I will die and the country will survive, and I will retreat from the country and perish." Bloody fighting, beating down the devils who rushed up again and again.

At noon, the 105th Division became more and more courageous, the 313th Brigade fought out of the position, turned from attack to defense, and captured the Japanese position Jinniu Mountain in one fell swoop.
