Gu Changfeng, who left the road and drove into the southwestern mountainous area, was very annoyed, and he was never afraid that the Japanese troops who came in four places did not stop advancing because they were alone in depth, but very boldly sent a unit to continue southward, and with the help of the big landlords of Halahai Village, 12 kilometers south of Zhangjiayingzi, set a big trap for Gu Changfeng's troops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The cavalry wing commander Changshan Gangjie Dazuo entered Zhangjiaying in the evening, rested a little, and sent a reconnaissance team equipped with Tuizing Ze to the south of Harahai. When the team arrived at Harahai, they immediately summoned the local residents for questioning. Out of respect for the righteous soldiers of the war and out of deep affection for their compatriots, none of the villagers confided the slightest news to the Japanese army. At that time, the land advocate of the village advocated that Dexian was also standing among more than 300 villagers, and his complicated eyes made the traitor translator see clearly, and the traitor whispered a few words in the ear of the Japanese squad leader, and the squad leader even said "Yo Xi" waved his hand to let the big landlord prepare to eat, they would not be embarrassed to support the good people of the imperial army, and they had to hurry away after eating.

So, Zhang Dexian told the Japanese army the important news at home: at sunset in the afternoon, a team of seven cavalrymen with long and short strange weapons on their backs quietly came to the village to stay in Pian Xuan, and begged for water at his Zhang Dexian's house. Let Zhang Dexian inform the village riders not to leave the village tomorrow morning so as not to get into trouble.

This important information quickly reached the ears of Wing Commander Changshan Gangjie, and after a little analysis by Nagayama and Wing Chief of Staff Yoshida, they came to the conclusion that the bold An Jia Army would launch a surprise attack on the cavalry wing in the second half of the night or early tomorrow morning!

This news, along with Nagayama's judgment, soon reached the assistant of Satoko, the commander of the Northern Route Army, through the airwaves, and Sato made a slight analysis and resolutely decided: the Iizuka Wing, which was heading southeast to search for the An Jia Army, immediately turned around and headed west, and rushed to Zhangjiayingzi overnight; The Gangcun Wing, located in Nailin Town to the west, continued to move south to Erlong Town, blocking the only way for the Anjia army to flee west!

At the same time, Sato sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Nishiichi of the 8th Division to inform him of the situation, suggesting that the Hayakawa Wing, which was responsible for encircling the Anjia Army, should move north from Aomine Mountain. Strive to surround the Anjia army in a narrow area west of Little Black Mountain and east of West Camel Mountain before dawn.

Gu Changfeng is lucky, his luck comes from the simple villagers with conscience, and from the deep affection and strong support of the brothers of An Jiajun behind him.

At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, when Gu Changfeng and more than 4,000 brothers sneaked out of the intersection only three kilometers away from the Japanese ambush circle, a figure suddenly appeared in the snowdrift on the side of the road, and Zhang Jiye, the youngest son of the earth's advocacy Dexian, who had been frozen, came to Gu Changfeng under the escort of two brothers. trembling and telling his father about betraying the anti-Japanese army.

Gu Changfeng with two. The head of the regiment was taken aback. At this time, the Japanese army, which had already laid secret posts along the way, saw that the Anjia army was about to flee, and the cavalry wing was about to kill under the jujube leadership of Changshan Gangjie, and more than 7,000 people of the infantry wing, which had just been in place for two and a half hours, also jumped out of the ambush array under the command of the wing commander Iizuka. Swarming south, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly resounded through the valley.

Gu Changfeng was extremely grateful and asked the nineteen-year-old Zhang Jiye to leave this place with him, otherwise the Japanese army would not give up, and his father would not spare him. How do you know that Zhang Jiye is a scholar who has memorized the books of sages since he was a child, and he secretly ran to warn him before experiencing a painful ideological struggle, and finally under the touch of "the heart of a non-my race will be different" and the atrocities of a large number of Japanese invaders, he resolutely chose the right path, and this is the time to complete the important mission. The head was immediately filled with the words "The Son does not speak to the Father." Parents are not far away" and other deep-rooted ideas occupied.

The dense sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and it had already shook the snow on the branches around Gu Changfeng. Where can Gu Changfeng still care about reasoning with Zhang Jiye? With a wave of his big hand, he flew on his horse and chased the team south, and the guards behind him dragged the stunned nerd to the saddle, and with a clamp between his legs, he galloped south.

Zhang Jiye struggled a few times and couldn't move, so he could only shed tears, letting the guards with iron hands press him on the saddle and gallop in a hurry.

After fleeing about thirteen kilometers south, the brigade ran to a narrow bend with a ditch more than ten meters deep on the west side, and Gu Changfeng ordered the entire regiment to stop advancing. Occupy the high ground on the east side as quickly as possible to prepare for battle, and order the 2nd Regiment to continue to advance, and set up a blocking position at the junction of the southern side and into the small black mountain.

The Japanese cavalry, struggling to catch up, soon arrived. Gu Changfeng's gunfire also rang out at this time, and the dense rain of bullets fired by more than 20 light machine guns on the high ground on the east side of the road turned the dozens of horsemen who rushed to the front on their backs, screaming miserably, and more than a dozen war horses that followed closely and did not have time to dodge collided with each other. Many of the follow-up cavalry rushed down the deep ditch, and then hundreds of grenades flew towards the middle of the cavalry ranks, causing the Japanese soldiers and horses to take off into the air. The dense smoke of gunpowder obscured the faint light, and many fallen war horses strewn the road, blood flowing everywhere.

The Japanese troops, who had been struck by the sudden blow, soon stopped advancing. Queen Cang retreated, Gu Changfeng took advantage of this rare respite and ordered a retreat, and all of them rode their horses south again without any casualties.

Due to the continuous load-bearing gallop, the war horses of Gu Changfeng and his soldiers fell one after another, and when they reached the entrance of Black Mountain, most of the war horses were already unbearable to walk. Horses foaming at the mouth and dying on the snow abounded, but the Japanese cavalry pursued them again, followed by six trucks of the Iizuka Infantry Wing towing artillery and heavy machine guns.

At this time, Gu Changfeng and more than 4,000 brothers were in a dangerous situation where they could not advance or retreat, and if they attacked, they could not compete with the nearly 1,000 cavalry riding on horses. Moreover, the Japanese army on the horse was able to chase after them on horseback. While raising his gun with ease, or simply drawing his saber and charging with no scruples, he resolutely rushed into the chaotic formation of the fleeing army, and launched a frenzied slaughter against the exhausted An Jia army.

Under such circumstances, Gu Changfeng could only occupy the high ground around the logging crossing leading to the hinterland of Xiaoshan Mountain. Launched a stubborn resistance, but the Japanese cavalry commanders were very cunning, they kept wandering outside the range of their rifles, but they couldn't charge, and they stuck to the Anjia army that could not advance or retreat, so as to gain time for the follow-up infantry wing.

Only half an hour later, a large group of infantry of the Japanese army was about to enter the battlefield, and the six artillery pieces that had been erected began to shell the two heights occupied by the An Jia Army, which made the soldiers of the An Family Army and Gu Changfeng miserable.

Two hours passed, and the casualties of the officers and men of the Anjia Army, who stubbornly repelled the two charges of the Japanese infantry with the help of the trees and protrusions on the high ground, increased greatly, and what was even more fatal was that the consumption of ammunition was very serious, as long as the Japanese army made two more charges of thousands of people. Gu Changfeng and his soldiers could only choose to fight with bayonets.

At 10:30 a.m., the Anjia Army, which had repelled five Japanese attacks, was finally faced with the desperate situation of running out of ammunition, and the number of casualties had increased to more than 1,500

Gu's embarrassing situation. A coordinated charge between the infantry and cavalry began. “…

At 10:50 a.m., more than 7,000 Japanese troops, under the leadership of commanders at all levels, stepped over the corpses of more than 1,000 of their own men and shouted a decisive charge against the more than 2,000 remaining officers and men of Anjia.

Gu Changfeng on the hillside, like all the brothers who stood up, was already ragged and unrecognizable. He smiled miserably, pulled out the dark seven-star knife and held it in front of him, and silently said in his heart, "Boss." See you in the afterlife," and then raised his long knife aloft. Roar loudly:

"Brethren, get on the bayonet"

At this moment, eight silver-white fighters roared in, and the three flying behind lowered their altitude. A dense stream of bullets was fired, knocking the charging Japanese troops into pieces and falling, where the bullets rained down. Like a trench ploughed by an iron plow, the Japanese army was suddenly struck by this, and the formation immediately became confused. The momentum of the charge stalled, and the shouts, guns, and howls replaced the roar of the charge.

The soldiers on the high ground were ready to fight to the end and die together, but at this moment, the battle situation suddenly changed, and many people had not yet reacted.

The chief of the communications section, who had been leading the radio team to keep in touch with the headquarters in the rear of the position, rushed to Gu Changfeng with the tattered paper, and shouted loudly:

"Master, our plane has arrived! The commander ordered you to take cover as soon as you see the plane arriving, and all retreat! ”

"Boom, boom"

The aerial bomb blew up the Japanese truck into the sky, shaking the sky and shaking the earth, and the flames were everywhere, Gu Changfeng looked through the smoke of gunpowder, looking at the chaotic Japanese troops fleeing in front of him, and forcibly endured the excitement in his heart, and raised the long knife again:

"Brothers, take the wounded brothers and withdraw"

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the headquarters of the General Headquarters of Beiping.

The news of the victory in the "Battle of Kuancheng" and the statistical results reached Beiping, and the General Headquarters, which had not yet had time to celebrate, suddenly received the bad news of the fall of Chifeng. The two news of one joy and one sadness followed one after another, and the lieutenant general was dumbfounded, although everyone was mentally prepared to not be able to keep Chifeng, but no one expected that the fall of Chifeng would be so fast.

Sun Dianying, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, did not report the reason and process of the loss of Chifeng, but only said a few words: "The officers and men of the department suffered heavy casualties and withdrew from Chifeng with hatred" and there was no follow-up.

The real situation is that the commander of the Japanese Northern Route Army, Konosuke Sato, keenly realized the many loopholes in Sun Dianying's defensive arrangement, and quickly asked the Kwantung Army Headquarters and was stunned to approve it, and mobilized all artillery at 8 o'clock in the morning to launch a ten-minute fierce artillery bombardment of the defenders outside Chifeng City. The bows were fired left and right, and it took only twenty minutes to tear apart the left and right flanks of the Chifeng defenders.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Sun Dianying issued an order to retreat on the whole line, and took the lead in directing the evacuation of the headquarters, and the entire defense line collapsed, and the Japanese army strode into Chifeng, which had no resistance, and laughed at the large amount of food and ammunition left by the defenders.

The impact of the fall of Chifeng was extremely huge, and at this time, the Beiping General Headquarters still pinned its hopes on Sun Dianying's Sixth Army to organize a defense on the line of Lianhua Mountain, 25 kilometers west of Chifeng, and take advantage of the favorable terrain. Sun Dianying was frightened by the Japanese offensive, and led his troops to retreat to Jiang's camp fifty kilometers to the west.

After that, Sun Dianying, who was bent on preserving his strength, did not make any stop, and led nearly 20,000 main forces to Duolun, which was 100 kilometers away from Houyi.

Since then, Chahar has been under the guns of the Japanese army, with endless grasslands and inexhaustible cattle and sheep. It provided a vast space and material guarantee for the Japanese army to invade Shanxi and Mongolia.

An Yi was shocked and angry, he didn't think about the strategic impact after the fall of Chifeng first, and he didn't have time to think about it so far at this time. He was staring at the large airport with complete facilities in the south of Chifeng City, this airport has been built by Feng Yuxiang, the former commander of the Northwest Army, and Zhang Zuoshuang, the commander of the Northeast Army, and has become the most important military strategic airport outside the city. and Kuancheng, which has just experienced a large-scale siege war. The Akagi airfield, which was originally on the edge of the Japanese fighter warplanes, also lost all its advantages, and in the blink of an eye, it was within the strike range of the Japanese fighters several times its own.

Owen is an excellent commander with broad vision and far-reaching vision, after An Yi, who hurriedly returned to the Tangshan headquarters, informed him of the news of the fall of Chifeng. Owen was shocked at first, then strode over to the large military map hanging on one wall, and in less than five minutes, he immediately took out his idea:

"Well, it's twelve o'clock at noon. The most optimistic estimate is that we have eight hours left, and there is not much we can do in those eight hours.

"After the morning's fierce fighting, we were left with only forty-one intact fighters, seventeen good lads, and twelve who had fallen seriously after parachuting. A flying squadron that was carrying reinforcements to General Gu and successfully assisted the unit in extricating itself from the trap did not encounter enemy planes and successfully completed this important mission, but tomorrow will not be so easy.

"The Japanese Fifth Air Brigade stationed in Tongliao surprisingly did not make a move, and I personally think there are only two reasons: first, the Japanese suffered heavy losses in this morning's air battle, and they need time to adjust. Second, it is likely that the Japanese army will concentrate its forces in the afternoon and launch a fierce air attack on the army on the front line of Kuancheng, which is of far greater strategic significance than the elimination of a division of General Gu Changfeng. Therefore, we must make a contingency plan as soon as possible. Otherwise it will be even more passive, after all, Ann, you have done your best, the main forces of your country are fighting a civil war in the south, and almost all aviation forces are used for a protracted civil war. Therefore, no one can afford to use the strength of your local group to contend with a first-class military power in Asia that is at the forefront of the world. In light of the current dire situation, I implore you to make a rational decision. ”

"Yes, dear Ann, you are a great patriot, but you must not demand more than you can do, and although I am also sad at this moment, as your adviser, as your close friend, I have to remind you." Hust, a staff officer of the advisory group, also spoke tactfully.

An Yi gratefully patted Owen and Hust's arms, slowly turned around and walked towards the map, but after standing still, his mind was in pain. I couldn't think normally at all, so I had to look helplessly at the ceiling, and I couldn't say a word for a long time
