The Japanese lost a wing of cavalry in the roundabouts, but the remaining infantry did not dare to move on.

They dug the fortifications on the spot, reported the situation here, and asked the chief of staff of the 109th Division, Shizaburo Ochiai, to give instructions, but they did not dare to act rashly, and Fujiwara and Koizumi felt that if they advanced to Dongcun Town, they would definitely be completely annihilated by Sun Weiguo.

On the south bank of the Arashi River, in the headquarters of the Japanese army, Osa's chief of staff, Shizaburo Ochiai, looked at the map, and his face became gloomy.

The 119th Wing currently had seven infantry squadrons, two machine gun squadrons, and an artillery brigade to assist in the battle, but they never crossed the Arashi River.

After receiving the telegram from the roundabout troops, Ochiai Shizaburo became impatient in his heart, a cavalry wing was completely annihilated, such a loss was too great, even if he captured Lan County, once the above was investigated, he would also be responsible.

"Is the 119th Wing still sure to pass through the Lan River, if they can't pass the Lan River, there is no need for the roundabout troops to continue to go to Dongcun Town, we are underestimating Sun Weiguo's command ability, at present, Sun Weiguo has spread the news of the capture of Ishida Jinzang, but he did not explain the matter of the wing flag, I think he is still willing to use the wing flag to exchange weapons."

After being silent for a while, Shizaburo Ochiai looked at a young man beside him, and he whispered.

This Shaozo is a staff officer of the 109th Division, and this time he came here with Shizaburo Ochiai.

Staff Officer Shaosa knew that Shizaburo Ochiai had said this, and he actually wanted to give up the operation.

Staff officers will inevitably be different from those commanding operations from those commanding operations by the commanders of the troops; what the staff officers seek is prudence and caution, and they will not let the troops pay heavy casualties, but the commanders of the troops will command the operations, and what they seek is to accomplish the tasks, and they will not care about the great sacrifices.

"Chief of Staff, it's better to send a telegram to His Excellency the division commander to report on our situation here, Sun Weiguo's request is not too harsh, let's exchange back the wing flag first, and then make other plans." Staff Officer Shao Zuo said tentatively.

Shizaburo Ochiai frowned and hesitated, he nodded silently, and agreed to the suggestion of the young staff officer.

The telegram soon began to be sent to the headquarters of the 109th Division in Taiyuan City, and Shikahou Yamaoka, who received the message from Shizaburo Ochiai, had a complicated expression on his face.

The capture of Lan County was not only a matter of regaining the flag of the 119th Wing, but also wanted to rescue the troops of the 26th Division stationed in Lan County after conquering Lan County.

But now his division has suffered great losses, the captain of the 119th Wing, Ishida Kanazo, was captured alive, the flag of the wing was captured, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and now the cavalry wing directly under the division headquarters has been completely annihilated.

He knew very well that once he was held accountable after the war, he would definitely have to pay the price, and for a while Yamaoka Shigehou didn't know what kind of combat order he should give, and after hesitating for a long time, Yamaoka Shigehou still pushed the trouble to the North China Front Headquarters.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of 9 March, after annihilating the cavalry wing of the Japanese army's roundabout troops, the mobile troops of the Lanxian garrison moved again after resting and recuperating, and the mobile troops bypassed the Japanese roundabout troops, crossed the Lanhe River, and carried out a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery positions.

With the cooperation of 22 artillery pieces in the artillery position, the mobile unit successfully blew up all 12 mountain guns in the Japanese artillery position, and by the time the Japanese infantry arrived to reinforce it, the mobile unit had already disappeared without any trace.

After Ochiai Shizaburo learned the news, he immediately gave an order to the Japanese detour troops, and the Japanese Koizumi Brigade and Fujiwara Brigade quickly captured the ungarrisoned Higashimura Town, Ochiai Shizaburo felt that the roundabout troops captured Higashimura Town, which would pose a danger to Arashi County, but he did not know that his approach made the Japanese detour troops fall into a trap.

After successfully defeating the Japanese artillery position, Sun Weiguo led the mobile unit to carry out activities on the south bank of the Lanhe River and harass the Japanese 119th Wing.

The mobile forces were composed of cavalry and armored troops, and it was obviously impossible for the Japanese to catch up with the mobile forces.

After being harassed by mobile units, the 119th Wing of the Japanese Army had to temporarily abandon its plan to cross the Arashi River.

Ochiai Shizaburo was a little unsure of what Sun Weiguo was thinking, what he could do was to let the Japanese army be on alert and wait for a call back from above.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the 1st Battalion and the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Reserve Regiment, the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Independent Regiment, the 8th Artillery Company, and the 1st Artillery Company of the 1st Reserve Regiment began to assemble on the outskirts of Dongcun Town.

Because the 119th Wing of the Japanese Army on the south bank of the Lan River was contained by mobile troops, Sun Weiguo would have such courage.

When the mobile unit chose to assault the Japanese artillery position, Dongcun Town was vacant, and the commander of the 1st Independent Regiment, Qian, planned to send troops to garrison it, but was rejected by Sun Weiguo, which was a decoy set up by Sun Weiguo.

The Japanese detoured troops ate the bait, but they didn't know that they had taken the bait, and by the time they realized that they had taken the bait, it was too late.

THE ASSAULT FORCE BEGAN TO STORM THE TOWN OF DONGCUN, EIGHT MOUNTAIN GUNS, EIGHT FIELD GUNS, AND SIXTEEN 75MM GUNS BEGAN TO CARPET SHELL THE TOWN OF DONGCUN, FOLLOWED BY FOUR BATTALIONS BEGAN TO ATTACK THE JAPANESE UNITS IN THE TOWN OF DONGCUN.

At the same time as the battle began, Fujiwara and Koizumi immediately sent a telegram to Shizaburo Ochiai asking for help.

But in the hands of Ochiai Shizaburo, there are no extra troops to send, and the only thing he can use is the last reserve Kimura Brigade, which is the last reserve of the Japanese army, and it is also Ochiai Shizaburo's guard unit.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Shizaburo Ochiai led the Kimura Brigade to meet the troops of the 119th Wing, and under the command of Shizaburo Ochiai, the Japanese troops began to storm the north bank of the Arashi River, and at the same time Shizaburo Ochiai showed all the last cards.

TWELVE 75MM FIELD GUNS BEGAN TO SHELL THE FRONT-LINE POSITIONS, AND ONLY THE SECOND BATTALION AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY BATTALION WERE CURRENTLY STATIONED ON THE NORTH BANK OF THE LAN RIVER, AND THE POSITIONS HAD ALREADY BEEN UNRECOGNIZABLE AFTER REPEATED SHELLING BY THE JAPANESE ARMY.

"Hold your position, tell the soldiers not to have psychological pressure, the regiment commander is operating on the south bank of the Lan River with mobile troops, he will definitely support Fu Tao in your battle, now there is only one infantry battalion of the first independent regiment stationed in Lan County, you must not let the little devil cross the river."

When the Japanese army began to carry out artillery bombardment, Zhao Lerong, chief of staff of the First Reserve Regiment, immediately answered Fu Tao's phone, and he said in a serious tone.

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, as long as our troops are still there, we will definitely not let the little devils cross the river." Fu Tao swore and promised.

The night was destined to be silent, and the Chinese and Japanese troops engaged in the fiercest battles.
