At that time, there were three divisions and one Chongteng detachment, but soon after the landing, the sixth division was transferred to the northern front to fight, and only two divisions and one Chongteng detachment were overstretched on the southern front, and the long rear line was only guarded by the strength of a single wing, and this was still in the case of the third theater that retreated to the Ningbo area and was unable to counterattack. \\、//

Yanagawa Heisuke had no choice but to ask Matsui Ishine to send troops to protect the rear lines of communication, but he did not expect his request to be severely reprimanded by Matsui Ishine, Matsui Ishine warned him in a telegram that due to his mistakes some time ago, the armored column failed, resulting in the defeat of the strategic purpose of conquering Wuhu and encircling and annihilating the defenders of the Nanjing China Army, which has seriously affected the reputation of the Imperial Army, and now it is necessary to make every effort to relieve the siege of the 23rd Brigade.

Yanagawa Ping sighed, he had to solve it himself, he transferred a cavalry brigade from the 114th Division to go back to protect the rear line of communication, and at the same time ordered Ushijima Sadao to speed up, and he must rescue the 23rd Brigade before the squadron.

Liu Chuan didn't know that what he should do now was to withdraw his troops instead of continuing to stay outside the city of Guangde, Lu Diping's reinforcements arrived in Guangde on the night when Zhang Xuanwu conquered Hou's house, but Sun Zhen did not let him enter the battle immediately, but continued to wait for the main force of the 58th Army led by Lu Han, who was only a day and a half away from Guangde.

"Brother, Liu Chuan didn't know that you had arrived, but if you go up now, you can't form an absolute superior force, so it's better to wait, when Commander Lu arrives, we will fight together and wrap up the old boy Mosong." Sun Zhen swore and said.

Lu Diping naturally had no opinion, he hurried continuously, and the last day was a completely forced march, thanks to the many mountains in Yunnan, the soldiers were good at climbing mountains and wading through rivers, so they did not fall behind on a large scale, but even so, there were thousands of people left behind.

Seeing that Lu Diping's reinforcements arrived, Wu Qiwei and Liu Jianxu's spirit came again, and the two of them pulled their troops up at the same time, even if they couldn't attack the fortifications, as long as they opened the breakthrough and used their troops to pursue them.

Sun Zhendang would not refuse this kind of kindness, so Liu Jianxu's Tenth Army was reorganized, and he told the commanders of the troops that this time it was a victory, and there would be a reward for winning the battle, so the divisions enthusiastically signed up, and soon formed a reinforced division, led by Dai Minquan, to participate in the counteroffensive; Similarly, Wu Qiwei and Ou Zhen formed a regiment of the remaining troops, led by Ou Zhen, and these two troops were led by Wu Qiwei and under the unified command of Sun Zhen.

The situation on the battlefield changed quickly, Lan Yundong continued to attack Xiaogu Mountain after conquering Jianshan, Ueno broke his arm to survive, and led the 55th Wing to retreat to Xiaogu Mountain, Ahn was greedy and ate the two infantry brigades and a cavalry brigade left by Ueno and the Ono squadron, and continued to pursue, but when he chased to Xiaogu Mountain, Ueno had already crossed Xiaogu Mountain and retreated to Baima Town, throwing a squadron to Lan Yundong.

When Ueno was still ten miles away from Hakuba, he met several soldiers who had escaped from Hakuba, and learned from them that Hakuba had been lost, and that the 74th Army had conquered Hakuba, and Ueno almost fell off his horse when he heard the news, and the brigade was now almost surrounded.

The reason why I say almost. Now the north side of Uenoji is blocked. There is only one road left to the south. Ueno quickly decided to head south. Move in the direction of Gaochun. At the same time, he telegraphed his decision to the command of the 10th Army and the Front.

It's an unpredictable road. To get to Gaochun, you must first cross the Xinqiao River. Then you have to climb over the mountain. From the vicinity of Fangshan, enter Liyang Shangpei Town. Then plug it into Liyang. It's going to cross another river or two.

Ueno led the U-turn to the south. Lan Yundong and An En chased after each other left and right. The 74th Army was transferred back to Lishui by Zhuang Jihua. Succeeded Lishui City Defense.

After Sadao Ushijima received a telegram from Ueno. Urge the soldiers to force the march. Don't get pestered along the way. More than 16,000 Japanese troops rolled west.

The battle in Jintan became more intense. Under the cover of the air force and heavy artillery, the 6th Division broke through Guo Xun's two lines of defense and attacked under the Jintan city wall. Guo Xun was anxious. Tao Yuanliang, the commander of the 8th Regiment who abandoned his position, was shot. Then he went to the head of the city to supervise the battle. Three times in one day, the Japanese counterattacked the Japanese army at the landing site.

Lan Yundong and An En catch up with Ueno at Guanshan. Ueno seized four hills and built a horn defensive position. Lan Yundong caught up first. He didn't waste a moment in attacking. Not long after he went on the offensive. Ayn also arrived. He then attacked Ueno from the other side.

Now there is no heavy artillery on both sides, Ueno's heavy artillery was lost during the retreat, but Lan Yundong and An'en's did not catch up, everyone is playing with their lives, and the heavy artillery is left behind.

Guanshan is completely different from the mountains in the north or southwest, there is more than beautiful Lingxiu, and the majesty is insufficient, Ueno led more than 3,000 people to flee here, and then was surrounded by more than 20,000 people who chased him, and deafening guns quickly rang out in the mountains and fields

Lan Yundong and An En attacked from two sides, and the two sides spread out around the four hills

"Burn the flag." Ueno ran back to the headquarters with a bloody face, the offensive of the squadron was too fierce, one of the four hills was lost in half a day, and the other was also crumbling, completely unsure of holding on until reinforcements arrived.

"Brigade commander, let's wait, it's getting dark." Chief of Staff Morimura still maintained a trace of luck, hoping to survive the dark and hug the troops. The flag was given by the emperor himself, and since the Meiji Restoration, no unit has ever lost it. If the military flag is lost, I am afraid that not only will Ueno have to cut his stomach, but he will also have to cut his stomach to apologize.

"Burn it, they're not going to give us the whole night." Ueno pursued his opponent with determination, already feeling his opponent's determination to eat him.

"Your Excellency," cried an officer with a bandage on his head, and the disgrace of the rebuilding of this unit in the future, "we can hold out until reinforcements arrive, and darkness is good for defense." ”

"Brigade Commander!" The chief of the communications section suddenly stood up in surprise: "The division commander called, the reinforcements have arrived in Liyang, and they are approaching us overnight. ”

Ushijima Sadao did not waste a second, regardless of fatigue, the troops rushed overnight, in three days, they only slept for a total of eight hours, and finally arrived at the most dangerous moment in Liyang County, and then rushed to Guanshan non-stop.

After Zhuang Jihua got the information that Ushijima Sadao appeared in Liyang, he immediately telegraphed Lan Yundong and An En to retreat from Lishui, attracting Ushijima Sadao to Lishui, and cooperating with the counteroffensive of the Guangde defense line, which was a larger counteroffensive.

Lan Yundong and An En were very dissatisfied, and after discussing it, the two decided to fight for another half night and strive to wipe out the wilderness. In the evening, the Chinese offensive showed no signs of abating, and the offensive intensified.

Shells flew in mid-air, bullets shuttled through the night; The figure of the Chinese soldier appeared and disappeared on the hillside, and occasionally a rocket flew and overturned a fire point. The whole Japanese army knew that the critical moment had come, and no one took half a step back, and from time to time wounded soldiers rolled down the hillside with grenades full of them, exploding in the crowd of attackers.

It was a bloody night, the mountains and the mountains were fighting with rare bravery, the sound of killing on the three hills broke through the night sky, Ueno personally rushed to the front line, all the staff officers went to the position, and there was a thick smoke of gunpowder and blood in the air.

Ueno was a little desperate, the gunfire on another hill stopped, and there were more dark shadows on the hillside, and now even Morimura didn't have the confidence to hold out until dawn.

But Ueno didn't know that the commander of the squadron under the mountain was very helpless and ready to order a retreat. Zhuang Jihua's tone in the telegram became even stronger, first criticizing them for falling into Ueno's trap, only eating the bait thrown at them, delaying time, and then telling them that Ueno was in danger, and Ushijima Sadao would definitely not sit idly by, and he would move closer to Ueno overnight.

"If you continue to fight, not only can you not eat Ueno, but it is very likely that you will fall into the front and rear of the Japanese army, causing the troops to fall into danger, and now withdraw the troops, Ushijima Sadao will think that our army is not strong enough to completely annihilate a brigade of troops, Ushijima Sadao is likely to wave the army to attack Lishui, so as to achieve the purpose of attracting Ushijima and create conditions for Guangde's counteroffensive."

Lan Yundong had no choice but to order to stop the attack, and then retreated overnight, Lan Yundong and An En retreated quickly, only three hours after they left, when the sky was twilight, the advance of Ushijima Sadao's 18th Division rushed to Guanshan.

The scene of the mountain was bleak, and after a whole day of fighting, more than half of the more than 3,000 people in Ueno were lost, and almost all of the remaining 1,300 people were wounded, and all of them were tired and lay in the rudimentary fortifications of the position, and almost wept bitterly when they saw the arrival of reinforcements.

Towards noon, Ushijima Sadao also arrived at Kanzan, and after inspecting Ueno's troops, Ushijima talked with Ueno for a while and ordered the whole army to retreat to Liyang. Ushijima Sadao made a correct judgment that Lishui could not be defeated with only more than 10,000 men, and there were two divisions of the Sichuan Army and one army of the 74th Army. With such a strong force, rushing forward to attack is likely to repeat the mistakes of Ueno.

From then on, the Japanese army internally announced that one division of the Sichuan Army was calculated as three to four divisions of the rest of the Chinese Army, that is to say, one Sichuan division was equivalent to one of their reinforced wings.

Ushijima's retreat made Zhuang Jihua secretly disappointed, and he hoped that Ushijima would go north to attack Lishui, but Ushijima Sadao didn't listen to him, which made him melancholy.

Ushijima's action was supported by Yanagawa Heisuke, but Matsui Ishine was extremely angry, and he telegraphed to reprimand Ushijima, ordering him to immediately go north to attack Lishui, but Ushijima was unmoved and insisted on either giving him reinforcements or staying where he was.

Just as they were telegraphing, the situation on the southern front changed dramatically again.
