An Yi put down everything and asked Peng Zhenguo's troops to attack Huaishuwan There was no way, and Gu Changfeng's troops, who were surrounded by the Japanese army again in less than half a day after paying a heavy price, have now reached a situation where they are exhausted and extremely exhausted, and if there is no external support, they are likely to fall in the last blockade line. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Five years ago, during the escape of An Yi's independent division in Jiangbei, the air raid on Luoma Lake lost troops, Taiping Town was rescued from difficulties, Xuyi fierce battles were fought again and again, and Liuhe was killed, and the unforgettable tragic experiences still deeply reverberated in the hearts of An Yi and his brothers, who could clearly feel the pain, anxiety, panic and helplessness, and deeply understand the hardships and sorrows on the way to escape. Therefore, An Yi and his brothers are willing to pay any price to rescue the 5,000 soldiers of Gu Changfeng's department who have fought thousands of miles and experienced hardships...... The sustenance of heart and hope.

Asking Peng Zhenguo's three regiments to attack Maple Bay surrounded by an infantry brigade of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army was just one of the small steps in An Yi's entire rescue plan, An Yi said to Peng Zhenguo that only one squadron of the Japanese Army was guarding Maple Bay, strictly speaking, An Yi did not deceive, and there was indeed only one infantry squadron of the Japanese Army in Shame Bay, but within five kilometers of the north and south of Maple Bay, there were still two Japanese troops. The infantry brigade, which also belonged to the Hayakawa Wing of the Eighth Division, was closely connected with the Japanese Ganbo Shigetaro Wing on the North Road on the back of the Wafang to Zhuanshanzi line, and the defense line formed by more than 14,000 heavy soldiers blocked the westward escape of Gu Changfeng's troops, and the headquarters of the Hayakawa Wing of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for the heavy task of encircling the southern front, had been stationed in Zhongguan Town, 19 kilometers south of Zhishu Bay, before sunset, and at the same time entered Zhongguan Town and marched north, there was also a specially dispatched Japanese cavalry brigade and a machine gun brigade.

Zhongguanzhen was only 29 kilometers away from Dunhua in the northwest and 14 kilometers away from the Sanchakou position of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in the southeast to attack Chengde.

Judging from the fact that the Japanese army continued to increase the number of troops encircled and contained, the Kwantung Army would definitely not give up until they completely eliminated Gu Changfeng's troops, which had caused them great mental and material trauma.

For the smooth implementation of this rescue plan, An Yi also mobilized a lot of troops and spent all his energy: the Hujialin Independent Division on the front line of Kuancheng immediately approached the position of the Japanese Eighth Division in front of it shortly after the bombardment, and recklessly continued to press the Japanese defense line. In order to attract the attention of the Japanese command system. involving the living forces of the Japanese army; At the same time, in order to ensure a sudden attack by the independent division on the 8th Division, Lu Yixuan, the commander of the 17th Division, also led his troops to pour out. put on an aggressive posture that could attack at any time, and put pressure on the Japanese 6th Division to the east and northeast; The 5,000 officers and men of the Zhao Tingfang Brigade of the Fifth Army Corps who stayed in Kuancheng were impressed by the strong and unyielding spirit of the An Jia Army and the kindness of the An Jia Army to help them everywhere, and took the initiative to let the Fourth Army Yu Zhaolin Brigade replace them as a reserve, and did not hesitate to enter the defensive position in the northeast.

Not only that, An Yi, with the strong support of Song Zheyuan and Liu Ruming of the Northwest Army, took advantage of the feint of the 29th Army to firmly contain the first division of the Japanese Sixth Division and the subordinate service brigade on the line from Kuancheng to Qinglong, striving to cause a short miscalculation and hesitation of the Japanese army, and create a fighter for the final breakthrough of Gu Changfeng's army.

At five o'clock in the morning, the independent division led by Wu Liheng took the lead in attacking the Chuan Brigade of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army. The independent division, which had been adopting an upright and upright method of hard-fought combat for several days, finally mobilized the headquarters of the 17th Infantry Wing of the Changchuan Brigade of the Zongxingzhen Special Brigade, which was located 19 kilometers north of Kuancheng, and was suddenly attacked by mortars from three directions. The flames ignited the stables and the surrounding buildings, which were mostly wooden.

Twenty minutes later, the officers and men of the special detachment, who had retreated to the north of Majiazhuang Village in the south, joined the fighting ranks of the other two detachments. From behind, a heavy blow was struck at the remnants of a squadron of Japanese troops stationed at Majiaqiao.

More than 180 elite independent divisions, with their high military skills and powerful firepower, wiped out a Japanese brigade defending this place in only 10 minutes. When the fuse of the explosive pack buried under the 16-meter-long Majiaqiao pier was ignited, more than 180 special elites had disappeared into the southern hills.

The sound of a huge explosion that could be heard for 10 miles became the order for the 12,000 officers and men of the independent division, and the artillery regiment, which began to move quietly in the second half of the night, roared in unison, and the three brigades of the independent division, which had been replenished after splitting the 3,000-strong teaching regiment, launched a fierce attack on the position of the 17th Wing of the Japanese army under the command of their respective commanders.

At six o'clock in the morning, Lingyuan County, the headquarters of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army.

In the attack of the independent division, which was full of momentum and sacrificed life and death, the news that the 17th Wing under the division had lost its forward position and suffered nearly half of the casualties made the division commander Nishi Yoshiichi and the chief of staff Kobayashi Kakutaro and other generals unable to clearly judge the enemy's purpose, and another urgent report came from Hiraizumi from the commander of the 4th Brigade Suzuki Mitsu Brigade: Early in the morning! Ten ten, the strength of about two regiments of the Chinese army launched a surprise attack from the direction of Dunhua against a squadron of the 30th Wing stationed at Maple Bay, which surrounded Jin Ru's braids, and the Honda Brigade five kilometers to the south quickly came to the fore, and fought fiercely with a regiment of enemy troops who were lying in ambush in the area two kilometers south of Jishu Bay.

Kobayashi Kakutaro carefully observed the map, and after comparing and drawing for a while, he suddenly exclaimed: "The main force of the Anjia army suddenly launched a large-scale attack in the south, most likely to disrupt our judgment, attract our attention to the line between Kuancheng and Pingquan, and contain most of our troops, so that the remnants of the Anjia army Gu Changfeng can take advantage of the chaos to retreat." ”

"Well, it's very shrugged

Xi Yiyi looked at the map and pondered for a while, nodded and said, "There is indeed this possibility!" But. Even if our judgment is correct, we must wait for further instructions from the headquarters, "Well, in this way, all the situation will be reported in a timely manner along with our judgment, and I believe that General Muto and Chief of Staff Alum will make their decision soon, and we just need to implement it."

"Today, our army is at a critical moment of completely conquering the area outside the Guanna Pass, and the biggest strategic goal is still the Chengde line, so although the remnants of Gu Changfeng of the Anjia Army are at the end of their rope under the encirclement and pursuit of our army's superior forces, the remnants of a few thousand people are compared with Chengde, which has an extremely important strategic position of hundreds of square kilometers. It can also become extremely small.

"Personally, I am still inclined to increase the number of troops on the front line of Kuancheng, if we can't repel the most elite independent division of the Anjia Army and even the Central Army, they can reinforce Chengde at any time to the west, which is only eighty kilometers away, if the department temporarily relieves the defensive pressure in the Kuancheng area through the sudden attack just now, and suddenly turns west to join the Chengde battlefield, it will greatly increase the resistance of our division and the other two brigades, and it will be difficult because this elite unit with strong combat strength is firmly blocking our way into Chengde. Gain precious respite for the Chinese army to march north to the battlefield, in that case, the next battle will not be easy to fight. ”

Kobayashi Kakutaro looked at the map again and echoed in admiration: "Shogun Takami! That's true. Chengde is too important, compared to it, the life and death of Gu Changfeng's remnants are not worth mentioning at all. Therefore, Kuancheng must hold on, and at the same time resolutely defeat the arrogance of the enemy's independent division, and maintain the battle line in the current area" However, now we can only wait for the instructions of the headquarters, after all, strategy is higher than tactics. The part should be subordinated to the whole. ”

"Report: The commander of the Suzuki Brigade called again, several enemy fighters launched a continuous bombardment of the Honda Brigade assisting Maple Bay, a regiment of the enemy army occupying Jieshu Bay has moved south to help in the battle, the Honda Brigade has suffered heavy losses, and the commander of the Suzuki Brigade has dispatched the Matsumoto Brigade stationed in Zhongguan Town to rush to help

"With the help of the Air Force in the war", is this another strange soldier of the Anjia Army? Where did they draw their troops from? ”

Xi Yiyi frowned slightly, quickly took the emergency report from the staff officer, read it carefully, and after reading it, he decisively ordered: "Immediately transfer this telegram to the headquarters!" ”

"Hey!"

Seven minutes later, the order of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, arrived in time: 1. Order the 8th Division to act according to the original plan, and the Kanjo line was handed over to the 33rd Independent Mixed Brigade of Major General Nakamura Shin, and the 8th Division's Nagawahara Kan Brigade, Suzuki Brigade An" Wing, and Ishikawa Koichi's 7th Independent Mixed Brigade must continue to maintain the pressure on the enemy forces in the direction of Chengde in accordance with the original plan; 2. The First Air Force is about to come out and will bomb the first line squadron of Kuancheng to support the rapid advance of the ground rescue force; 3. An infantry wing and a cavalry brigade of the Northern Route Army, which had been pursuing behind the remnants of the Anjia Army, would quickly move southward to encircle the line from Fengshuwan to Zhongguanzhen from the flanks and rear, and never let a single officer or soldier of the remnants of the Anjia Army escape from the encirclement.

Nishiichi pondered the telegram for a while, and quickly understood the meaning of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. I knew that continuing to maintain strong pressure on the front line of Kuancheng was a strong support for the headquarters to attack Chengde.

Nishiichi did not hesitate to obey the order, and ordered the 33rd Independent Mixed Brigade, which had been stationed in Pingquan and had always been used as a strategic reserve, to fire south and attack the independent division of the enemy's Anjia Army, and this stubborn enemy must be firmly pinned down on the battlefield of Kuancheng. Immediately afterwards, Nishiyi called Suzuki Mitsu and ordered his encirclement and suppression team to block the line from Taohuawan to Zhongguanzhen with indomitable spirit.

At 8:20 a.m., two kilometers south of Oak Bay.

Jiang Shangzhi, commander of the Independent Brigade of the First Regiment of the Volunteer Army, was very excited, and the black face of this Liaodong man who insisted on staying outside the border to fight bravely was flushed with red light, and he saw that the Japanese army who came to help him fell one after another under the bombing and strafing of seven large and small planes on his side. After the bombing of the fighters, groups of Japanese soldiers had just gotten up and fled for their lives, and the silver-shining, delicate and beautiful fighters flew in, firing dense bullets one after another, making the Japanese soldiers cry wolves and howl and corpses all over the ground.

Such a relieving and fierce way of playing. Let Jiang Shangzhi and the thousands of officers and soldiers under his command dance with their eyebrows, extremely excited.

The silver fighter in the sky successfully completed the mission. Hovering in the sky, flying away in a blink of an eye, Jiang Shangzhi was in good spirits and rushed to the ridge in front of him. He took out the Browning pistol at his waist, fired three shots into the sky, and shouted loudly in his loud voice:

"Brothers, rush! Kill all the little Japan. Then clean up the battlefield immediately, and don't leave a pair of shoes for the devils."

Cao Jinshan, the commander of the seventh company of the An Yi Special Service Regiment under the low slope, looked at his watch again, and was anxious about the low slope, and shrugged and persuaded the excited Mei Shangzhong! Porch※

"Brigadier Jiang, it's time to withdraw when the mission is complete! Don't want those broken guns, it's important to escape! ”

Jiang Shangzhi grinned, pointed to the corpses of the Japanese soldiers all over the mountains with his left hand, patted Cao Jinshan's shoulder with his right hand, and said excitedly: "Don't take it for nothing, don't take it, Brother Cao, we are not as rich as your An Jiajun, go back and clean up these things, it is a good weapon to kill the enemy." Besides. If you win a battle, you don't take something and go back as a memorial. How can you afford these legs? Haha, defeated the enemy's two brigades, annihilated no less than 500 enemies, I have never encountered this kind of victory, how can I not leave a little thought? ”

Cao Jinshan stomped his feet, although he was very anxious, he didn't know what to do.

It was at this time. A burst of artillery shells whistled, and the dense shells fell on the battlefield in the blink of an eye, and a large area fell in an instant.

Jiang Shangzhi panicked at this time, raised his gun again and opened fire again and again, shouting for retreat, and the more than 3,000 officers and men who were not killed by the bombing were so frightened that they quickly turned around and ran away, and rushed into the mountains and forests to the west with a shout under the pursuit of enemy shells.

Jiang Shangzhi on the low slope suddenly saw hundreds of Japanese cavalry from the north rumbling and killing, and immediately rushed down the hillside and fled westward, Cao Jinliao and seven team members followed closely behind him to cover, while fleeing in his heart, he was amazed by the excellent physical fitness and sprint of the brigade commander Jiang Shangzhi, if he could practice again, he would definitely be a good material for special forces.

At the same time, 12 kilometers north of Rosetree Bay, west of Huanghuagou, Gu Changfeng and thousands of brothers abandoned themselves in the snow at the edge of the forest, waiting for a Japanese army of about 1,000 people in front of them to hurry south.

A squadron of Japanese soldiers at the fork in the north-south highway about 700 meters ahead stood solemnly on the side of the road, watching the last figure in the long line go south, and then returned to the inside and outside of the temporary fortifications at the intersection, gathered together to smoke in twos and threes, and discussed with each other with confidence, and the vast majority of them believed that the two brigades of the wing rushed to the south, and the remnants of the Anjia Army could not escape death no matter how cunning they were.

Fifteen minutes later, a group of ragged Japanese soldiers suddenly ran over from the north, and the Japanese soldiers at the fork in the road stopped talking, and all looked over curiously, wondering which part of this squad was? Why are your clothes so dirty? The guns are so weird, not good!

A shrewd Japanese soldier Cao roared, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers were startled and hurriedly dispersed. But it was too late, thirty submachine guns and two Czech light machine guns spewed tongues of fire, and the Japanese were beaten to the ground with blood splattered and fell into pieces.

In the snowfields on the west side of the road, thousands of brothers leapt to their feet, picking up their weapons with few bullets left. Carrying the wounded brothers, carrying the young children, and carrying the young girls with their little feet in their arms, they crossed the open field and the highway with all their nursing strength, and rushed into the western fork in the road under black pressure, and fled westward with no life.

The march of more than 5,000 men took a long time, and just when there were still seven or eight hundred men left on the road, hundreds of Japanese cavalry galloped from the south, and the angry shouts and the muffled sound of horses' hooves shook the hearts of the brothers.

Liang Zhenyu picked up a crooked machine gun. Rushed to the south of the highway and fired wildly at the Japanese cavalry coming from a height of more than 500 meters, and the guard companies responsible for the heavy duty of breaking off also rushed to the south and fired at the Japanese cavalry with all their might.

However, the Japanese soldiers on horseback were also really brave. While galloping, while raising their guns to shoot, the horses in the team were shot and fell, and the officers and soldiers were thrown into the air, and the Japanese troops showed no sign of abating, and the cavalry in the rear simply jumped down the frozen river that could burst at any time, and shot at General An desperately.

"Withdraw"

Gu Changfeng roared and gave the order to retreat. In just three minutes, he set up a blocking position within 100 meters in front of him, and on the narrow and rugged path between the two mountains, the Japanese cavalry could not wield its superiority at all, and as long as they withdrew beyond the blocking position, there was nothing they could do about doubling the number of cavalry.

At this time, the whole team only needs to run another two kilometers. Crossing the Xiaodong Ditch is equivalent to successfully escaping from Shengtian, and if the Japanese army wants to climb over the deep ditch and cliff to start the encirclement, it is not a work that can be done in a day or two

After the break, the team fought and retreated, and Gu Changfeng followed Lu Yanqing, who was at the rear. Suddenly, I saw Lu Yanqing, the commander of the Second Independent Division, stumbling forward, and the sick grandson of the old man Zhai in his arms flew out of the air, and Gu Changfeng jumped forward. Kankan hugged the child who was about to land, stood up and looked at the bewildered child, shook his head and sighed, handed the child to the father who came in a hurry, turned around and just wanted to joke that you Lu Yanqing didn't eat for two days, just like this? Suddenly seeing the snow next to Lu Yanqing's head, who was lying motionless on the snow, was red, Gu Changfeng was taken aback, rushed to Lu Yanqing's side, picked up his soft body and turned around, and saw the scorched black hole drilled by the bullet on Lu Yanqing's forehead at a glance.

Gu Changfeng's face turned pale in an instant, and he suddenly picked up Lu Yanqing's body, rushed forward, and howled loudly as he rushed: "Hygienist"
