Under the bright starlight of the Daystar, hundreds of figures rushed up the mountain silently, accompanied by the cold knife light and the strong blood, Liu Ruming pursed his lips, as if licking the blood-red with a fishy smell. The army at the top of the hill finally reacted, and the sound of wah-wah-wah, and the sound of explosions reflected the night sky red. Fierce gunfire and explosions were heard further afield. By dawn, all the front-line positions of the Yue army had been conquered, and more than 300 corpses of the Yue army were forever left in the mountains from Banbi Mountain to Luo Wenyu.

After Liu Ruming successfully opened the gap, he immediately stopped to repair the troops, he nominally had a division number, but in fact there was only one brigade, and the number was only given before the war, and Song Zheyuan incorporated the troops directly under the army into his division in order to make up the number, so that it was a patchwork to form a division.

The gap opened by Liu Ruming was transferred to Jiang Fusheng's department of the 84th Division, Jiang Fusheng was a native of Hunan, and he applied for the Whampoa Military Academy with He Jinhan, and he was also a person Zhuang Jihua was more familiar with; But from the bottom of his heart, Zhuang Jihua didn't like this, because he felt that this person was a little cold-blooded. This time, Jiang Fusheng brought his cold-blooded to the extreme.

The 84th Division launched an attack after dawn, and as soon as Jiang Fusheng came up, he lined up three regiments, and pushed the finished glyph forward, while he himself stood in the back row of the attacking team, and anyone who retreated without authorization during the attack was executed on the spot. Under his ruthless push, all the officers and men of the division forgot to die and fiercely attacked forward, and the remnants of the army could not stand on their feet at all, and successively lost the big and small lion ditch, Da Wulan, and Erdao Aozi, and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. But in this way, Jiang Fusheng was not finished, and he personally led the two regiments that served as reserves to chase after him. Under the shame and anger of the captain of the army, Takahashi led the remaining 300 people to fight Jiang Fusheng to the death at Qingyakou.

Jiang Fusheng chased to the bottom of the cliff and attacked head-on with one regiment, while the other regiment, led by local hunters, climbed over the Guzhang Peak on the left flank and attacked from behind. Jiang Fusheng once again played his cold-blooded side, he personally led the interspersed regiment, and walked at the front of the team, through the rugged path, over the steep cliffs, until the evening troops interspersed into place. In the glow of the sun, the Qingyakou sounded the earth-shattering charge at the same time, and more than 2,000 [***] people rushed to the top of the cliff one after another with guns, and the fierce battle unfolded at the same time in front of the mountain and behind the mountain.

Takahashi looked at the Chinese [***] team that came up like a tide, and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart, he didn't expect, he didn't expect at all, that the offensive of the middle [***] team would be so resolute and ferocious. He regretted that he had not prepared for the warning from the wing headquarters and was successfully attacked by the [***] team, and was cornered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to be loyal to the Emperor! See you at Yasukuni Shrine! In desperation, Takahashi pulled out his sword and rushed towards the crowd of the [***] team.

"Long live the Emperor!" In the deafening roar, the remaining more than 100 soldiers raised their rifles and rushed down the hill from their shelters.

The decisive charge of the Yue army knocked the [***] team down more than ten meters, but was immediately overwhelmed by the swarming [***] team. Two hours later, the Takahashi Brigade became the first brigade formed unit to be completely annihilated since the beginning of the war.

Luo Wenyu's army was annihilated, and the right wing of the rice field wing was opened. After receiving the report, Inada immediately reduced his forces, abandoned his position north of Xifengkou, retreated in the direction of Kuancheng, and established a position at Jiuhuling, a major communication route.

Inada's swift action frustrated Song Zheyuan's preparations, and he immediately commanded an attack group consisting of the 37th and 38th Divisions in pursuit. At the same time, Jiang Fusheng and Liu Ruming were ordered to immediately insert from the flank to Kuancheng. Daotian had already anticipated Song Zheyuan's plan, and he left the Itakura Brigade in Jiuhuling to block the 29th Army, and he personally led the troops directly under the wing and the Yimu Brigade to withdraw to Kuancheng.

Itakura fought with the 29th Army at Jiuhuling for two whole days, and the officers and men of the 37th and 38th Divisions repeatedly rushed and killed, and the Yue Army resisted desperately, and the weakness of the 29th Army's poor equipment was fully exposed. Two days later, Itakura withdrew to Kuancheng and joined forces with the rice fields. Song Zheyuan immediately commanded his troops to enter Kuancheng, and joined forces with the troops from Luo Wenyu to the north to surround Kuancheng.

Itakura's blockade at Jiuhuling won time for the Yue army, and the Yue army adjusted its deployment, and the 6th Division gave up fighting with the [***] team for the high cane on the periphery of Lengkou, and the main force moved westward to relieve the siege of Kuancheng. collided head-on with the 38th Division, which was responsible for blocking the attack.

The 38th Division was deployed west of Kuancheng, the purpose of which was to block the troops from the west to relieve the siege, Zhang Zizhong established three lines of defense in the east stick, a beam, and a depression in just one day, and ordered Huang Weigang's brigade to guard the first line of the east stick, Tong Zeguang's brigade to guard the second line of a beam, and he himself led the troops directly under the division to guard the third line of the depression.

Perhaps it was the counterattack of the [***] team that aroused the resentment of the army, Sakamoto Masaemon's offensive was extremely ferocious, shells were overwhelmingly smashed on the position, and the hastily built trenches could not withstand such bombardment at all, and the position was immediately covered with stumps and broken arms, and the living soldiers kept jumping and dodging in the crater, and stubbornly persisted in the artillery fire.

After the shelling, the army began to attack in a wave attack formation, slapping wave after wave towards the top of the hill, and the battle was extremely brutal at the beginning, and the eyes of the soldiers on both sides were blood-red.

When the army approached the top of the mountain, a large number of grenades fell from the sky, and exploded all the way from the top of the mountain to the mountainside.

The verdant mountains became bare, then dyed red, and the corpses were layered on top of each other, then blown to pieces by shells, then covered with another layer, and blown up again.

Zhang Zizhong in the command headquarters looked at the front-line position with a solemn face, the phone rang, he turned around and grabbed the phone, and after listening to two sentences, he scolded loudly: "Brigade Commander Huang, you must hold the position!" The enemy is desperate, and we are desperate! If you don't fight at the moment, when will you fight again! Listen, don't go back! Even if it's gone, don't retreat! ”

Throwing down the phone, he said to the deputy division commander Li Wentian: "You stay at the command center, I'll go to Huang Weigang, this kid wants to be soft." ”

Li Wentian was an old partner with him, and hurriedly stopped: "You calm down, Huang Weigang is a man, if it weren't really critical, he would never say such a thing!" Besides, if you want to go, I'll go. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you stay here to command the overall situation, I'll go to the East Stick to see how powerful the little lady raised Sakamoto is." After Zhang Zizhong finished speaking, he shouted at the adjutant: "The guards follow me." ”

Huang Weigang is indeed a little unbearable, for a whole day, the intensity of the attack of the army has not changed, two or three thousand shells have fallen on the top of the mountain, the attack of the army has developed from the squadron to the brigade, the troops guarding the main peak have been reinforced in three batches, each time a company goes up, this company repels an attack and asks for reinforcements, and now it has been reinforced seven times, that is to say, there are already seven companies on the top of the mountain, but in fact the strength is only about 200 people.

After he put down the phone, he took off his military uniform, grabbed a steel helmet and put it on his head, and waved at the guards: "Follow me!" ”

The deputy brigade commander hurriedly hugged him: "I'll go!" You stay! After saying that, he took off the steel helmet from his head, grabbed a flower machine gun and rushed out, followed by a group of soldiers.

There was a sharp whistle, and a group of shells fell on the top of the mountain, and the attack of the Japanese army began again.

In order to capture Kuancheng as soon as possible, Song Zheyuan ordered Pang Bingxun's division of the 40th Army to immediately reinforce the Kuancheng front, but at this time, the Beiping Army Branch sent an order that the 40th Army immediately went to the Luandong front line to accept the command of Wang Yizhe, the commander-in-chief of the Luandong defense line.

In order to relieve the siege of the Eighth Division, Muto Nobuyoshi ordered the patchwork Hosoha detachment to immediately launch an attack in Luandong, the Hosoha detachment is a reinforcement detachment composed of two wings, and when Hosoha passed through Shenyang, Koiso Kuniaki, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, personally boarded the car and explained the current situation of the Great Wall to the wing commander in detail, which itself shows that the situation on the Great Wall is already very dangerous.

Therefore, after arriving at the Luandong front, Xiye launched an attack on Wang Yizhe's department, Wang Yizhe's department suffered large losses in the Battle of Rehe some time ago, and the 106th Division was not in command, so the defense line was broken through in half a day's fierce battle, and Wang Yizhe retreated to the west of the Luanhe River.

After clearing the southeast of Hebei, he also turned his troops to the north and launched an attack on the Jielingkou from the flank, and the He Zhu Department and the Wanfu Phosphorus Department, who were responsible for guarding the Jielingkou, rose up to resist. The Inaba detachment was a new unit, but it had to be sufficient, and its replenishment came from Shanhaiguan, which was also very fast, so it had no scruples and rushed and struck; The army outside the mouth of the boundary ridge also took the opportunity to attack, He Zhuguo frequently reported to Beiping, He Yingqin had almost no troops in his hands, so he had to draw reinforcements from the Xifengkou battlefield.

Pang Bingxun was far away in Xifengkou, nearly 100 miles away from the battlefield, He Zhuguo had no choice but to ask Shang Zhen and Wei Lihuang on the Lengkou front line for help, Shang Zhen and Wei Lihuang discussed, thinking that the gains and losses of Jielingkou were related to the safety of Lengkou, and decided that Luo Qi [***] Li, who was led by Wei Lihuang as a reserve, set up the 34th Brigade to rush to the aid of Jielingkou.
