"Report to the commander, the establishment of the eighth division has been obtained.

Liu Qing hurriedly came and handed An Yi the documents urgently sent by the Intelligence Department of the Major Marshal Headquarters.

An Yi took it and opened it immediately, and the neat letters written with a brush came into view: The establishment of the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army (as of October 30, 21st year of the Republic of China) 0 Division Commander: Lieutenant General Nishiyichi, Chief of Staff "Kobayashi Kakutaro Osa. The unit has two brigades and six wings under its command, with about 108,600 officers and men.

1. The 4th Infantry Brigade, Brigade Commander "Major General Mijin Suzuki. The brigade has two infantry wings. The Fifth Infantry Wing, Wing Commander: Gu Yi Yidazuo. The 31st Infantry Wing, Wing Commander: Yaskawa Saburo Osa.

2. The 16th Infantry Brigade, Brigade Commander: Major General Lin Maoqing. The brigade has two infantry wings. 17th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander: Fumiji Sato. The 32nd Infantry Wing, Wing Commander "Shozaburo Sato.

3. The Eighth Wing of the Cavalry, Wing Commander "Tadashi Miyake Nakasa." The wing had about 900 horses and about 1,100 officers and men.

Fourth, the 8th Wing of Field Artillery, Wing Commander "Hirono Taiji Osa. The number of officers and men of this unit is about 2,300, and it is divided into three artillery brigades, each of which is equipped with 12 75 field guns and 75 mountain guns.

Note: "The division has 120 vehicles, and another engineer brigade is temporarily transferred to the division, and the specific number is unknown.

After reading it, An Yi was very emotional: "Although it came late and is not very detailed, and the name of the first-level commander of the brigade is not there, but it is better than nothing!" The original intelligence was full of errors, and even the number of such a large unit as the enemy's brigade and wing was mistaken, and it really shouldn't have been ...... Chief of staff? ”

“1！”

Zhao Rui put down his work and walked quickly.

An Yi handed him the document: "Send this compilation information to Hutou and Jiuge, they still don't know what the Japanese army they are facing, they only know that it is the Eighth Division, and it may be useful for them to send it in time." ”

"Understood, do it right away." Zhao Rui looked at it and took the order.

This information really came too late, and when it was sent, the entire battle in Liaoxi had already started in full swing.

At three o'clock in the morning, seven and a half kilometers west of Jinling Temple, Mantou Ridge.

"Smack One by One"

With a crisp gunshot, the 60 mortar's peculiar "tom" firing sound suddenly spread, several red yellow flames flashed on the Mantou Ridge, four shells dragged the blazing tail flame, crossed the gray sky, and accurately flew to several blazing bonfires 600 meters to the north, before the more than 100 Japanese soldiers who were rushing to repair the railroad under the harsh winter had not had time to react, the shells had already fallen, and they exploded instantly, and the deafening sound waves reverberated on the ice of the mountains and the white Daling River. The ice and snow on the branches of the trees on both sides of the railway line shook and fell, and the light of the explosion and fire reflected a brilliant luster.

The Japanese soldiers who were repairing the railroad shouted loudly, threw down all their tools, and retreated from the roadbed to hide in all directions, and the train parked in the west waiting for the railway to be repaired was full of shouts, and the passwords were complicated, and the officers and men of the 17th Wing of the Japanese Army who were stuffed in the wagons jumped out of the carriage in panic and gathered urgently amid the sound of explosions and dense gunfire.

Before a few Japanese soldiers on the train could jump out, the second mortar salvo sounded again, and one of the four shells accurately hit a raging bonfire, stirring up several zhang of flames, illuminating a hundred meters in a radius of red. Another shell happened to hit the last railroad track that was too late to be fixed after docking, and the powerful explosive force shook one end of the rail violently, and the heavy railroad track slammed outward with a "bang" and smashed the telephone pole on the north side of the roadbed, and then shot back again, and when it landed, the head of the Japanese engineer squadron leader who was lying down and observing was shattered, and the blood mist and brains splashed out of the two Japanese soldiers in the ditch with their heads all over their faces.

After six rounds of mortar fire, eight light and heavy machine guns set up within 100 meters around Mantou Mountain spewed fire snakes, and with the help of the fire caused by the shells, the Japanese troops on the other side of the frozen Daling River screamed again and again, and the dense bullets crackled the black locomotive that was still smoking, and sparks splashed in all directions, and the black and heavy Japanese troops who had not yet assembled were quickly swept down in a large area, and the rest of the people all fell down on the north side of the railway in panic, and in the shouts of commanders at all levels, they picked up their weapons and chose the firing position, and launched a fire counterattack against the attackers in the south.

Lu Yanqing rushed to Mantou Ridge and shouted loudly: "Enough, Gengshen, you fucking move your position, the little Japanese firepower is too fierce, it's too late to run when their small steel cannons are placed, hurry!" Take your brethren and hurry up! ”

The commander of the machine gun company did not look back, and shouted loudly: "The heavy machine gun platoon retreats!" The artillery platoon listened to the order, and the last round was fired...... Turn right 10 degrees and turn away from 650...... Ready to put them all away! 1 Tom four mortars fired one after another within two seconds, four shells out of the road light, whistling away, two of them accurately fell on the top of the car in the middle of the train through the light, the violent explosion tore the top of the car two large holes, the other two shells suddenly exploded on the left and right of the car, the thick smoke billowed up, instantly covered the car.

Ha ha! F, guys, move one by one:

The gunfire rang out, and Gengshen, who hit the Japanese standard, was overjoyed, and half-crouched up and shouted an order for the brothers to withdraw quickly.

Lu Yanqing, who was lying more than three meters behind the launch position, breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to stand up, when a dense machine gun bullet roared, and the two gunners who fell behind screamed and fell to the ground.

"Gengshen Ichi-"

Lu Yanqing quickly climbed up, grabbed Geng Shen's hand that was still spasmodic and pulled it violently, hugged his bloody body and rolled over and rolled down the mountain bag, and the two heavy bodies that hugged tightly rolled the thick snow into a deep groove, stirring up a vast array of fog......

At 3:40 a.m., the Linghe Iron Bridge.

More than 100 Japanese troops at both ends of the bridge all rushed out of the barracks and rushed to the fortifications on both sides of the bridgehead and the grain road, waiting for the battle, nervously looking at the constantly flickering lights in the east, listening to the faint sound of dull explosions and machine guns like fried beans.

Several Japanese commanders in overcoats and thick cotton hats rushed to the middle of the bridge from both sides, loudly inquiring about the situation and discussing matters such as strengthening vigilance.

Without waiting for the babbling of several Japanese commanders to separate, the deafening machine gun suddenly sounded, from the north side of the two adjacent more than 100 meters of high ground shot, in the blink of an eye two of the four commanders knocked down, the bridge at both ends of the 7Q Yi immediately turned the muzzle of the gun ready to return fire, more than ten mortar shells have been whistling, the first round of blows will blow up the two Japanese fortifications beyond recognition, in the dazzling flames, the Min Ming machine gunner was thrown high, after the smoke of gunpowder, several heavy sandbags of fortifications together with the top layer of logs have lost half of the side.

The Japanese captain in the barracks west of the bridge quickly shook his phone, and amid the fierce gunfire and explosions, he urgently reported the attack on the headquarters, accurately judging that the enemy was armed with no less than 1,000 people, and had no less than 12 mortars and 20 light and heavy machine guns, and loudly requested that Beipiao City, 13 kilometers to the north, and the ∑ army should be reinforced.

The 14th Wing of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment, which had just returned to the headquarters of Beipiao City for less than a day, received an emergency and urgently assembled, and the brigade commander Nakamura Yinsuke, who had been extremely unlucky recently and almost became a laughing stock, was furious, and the 13th Wing and two artillery squadrons under his command were stranded at the eastern foot of Dahei Mountain to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese forces, and the cavalry brigade was still chasing the remnants of the rebels who had fled into Daheisheng, and another anti-Japanese army of more than 1,000 people who had emerged from nowhere dared to attack the big iron bridge he was responsible for guarding at this time, Originally, the bombing of the railway had already made Nakamura introduct severely reprimanded by the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and if there was another mistake in the iron bridge, how could he explain to Shangfeng, I am afraid that there would be no apology except for disembowelment.

Therefore, the frightened and angry Nakamura Insuke only left an infantry brigade and a regiment of puppet troops to garrison the northern ticket, and personally led the main force south to help.

The puppet army of the other regiment was not as good as the brothers who stayed behind, and more than 1,200 people were driven from their beds like cattle, and hurriedly draped in the roar of the Japanese army. In less than ten minutes, more than 20 trucks were full of Japanese troops, rushing south, a small group of Japanese cavalry kept waving leather whips, roaring angrily to drive the puppet army to march quickly and quickly, and the puppet officers and soldiers who followed behind all attracted a headless whip without exception, frightening more than a thousand puppet soldiers to rush to the battlefield, several puppet battalion company commanders who were not qualified to ride horses while running secretly scolded the little Japanese mother, most of the officers and soldiers were muttering in their hearts: I don't know that the distance of thirteen kilometers is in the dark night of winter, How long will it take us unlucky bastards to get there! The news that the main force of the Japanese army, together with a regiment of puppet troops, left Beipiao City and rushed to the aid of the Jinling Temple Iron Bridge, was soon transmitted by the radio waves to the Kunshan anti-Japanese coalition camp five kilometers northeast of the city, and the captain of the four brigades of Yang Jiuxiao's department, Zhan Qingxi, received the information, and was so anxious that he jumped up, his own brigade originally only had 900 brothers, which was the least sensitive among the four brigades, and had been sent to cooperate with Zhao Shangzhi's team to contain and attack the Japanese army's seventh independent mixed brigade, and had just escaped from the encirclement of the Japanese army's 13th wing and two regiments of puppet troops at noon yesterday. With more than 3,000 people from Zhao Shangzhi's department, he quietly detoured. Rest in the northeast of the dangerous county, prepare to find an opportunity to drive north before dawn, cross the road through Guanshan, find an opportunity to flank the Japanese army that encircled and suppressed the friendly Feng Zhanhai Division's temporary first division, and did his best to get Feng Zhanhai's troops out of trouble, and then bypassed the northern foot of Montenegro, moved westward, rested for a few days and replenished before discussing how to fight next. But now that the brothers in the headquarters are fighting happily in other battlefields, it is okay that they have not been able to participate, but they and Zhao Shangzhi's troops are hiding on the edge of Beipiao City and are in a hurry, watching a once-in-a-lifetime fighter appear in Beipiao City, but they can't do anything.

Zhan Qingxi, who was anxious, knew that there was no way to ask Yang Jiuxiao, all the departments were far away from Beipiao, and they were all fighting at this time, even if they were willing to go to Beipiao City, where the troops were empty, to "steal chickens" with Zhan Qingxi's Fourth Brigade would not have the ability, and when the various departments rushed over, I was afraid that the daylily would be cold early.

Coincidentally, An Yi's Huangpu junior, now Zhao Shangzhi, the political commissar of the 36th Army of the Red Army and the commander of the independent division, and Sun Chaoyang, the acting commander of the army, came back from a night patrol and had no cigarettes, so they ran to the wealthy Zhan Qingxi to rub two packs of cigarettes, and saw Qingxi spinning around the stove, tossing and uneasy like a foal in heat, and immediately asked what was going on?

Zhan Qingxi saw Zhao Shangzhi and Sun Chaoyang, he was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, Fei Lian took out the emergency telegram he had just received, spread it out in front of the two, and reported in his mouth that the headquarters had attacked the big iron bridge and mobilized the main force of the Japanese army in Beipiao City.

Sun Chaoyang was originally very suspicious of Yang Jiuxiao and Tong Zhiqiang silently withdrawing the main force, guessing that they must have made money elsewhere to do it quietly, but at this moment, when he heard Zhan Qingxi reveal such precious information, where could he still sit still? How many times in a row is the intelligence accurate?

Zhan Qingxi patted his chest and reassured, seeing that Zhao Shangzhi was still hesitating, he couldn't help but say viciously:

"If the two of you can't believe it, and Lao Tzu leads 900 brothers to rush to the front, will it be okay now? I want to die, Lao Tzu will die before you! ”

Zhao. Shang Zhi hurriedly explained: "Brother Qingxi, don't get me wrong!" We are worried about affecting the task of helping General Feng Zhanhai and them break the siege, not that we can't trust Brother Qingxi. ”

"I can't delay, I will go back and forth for ten miles, at most three hours, beat his little Japan and then take a handful of it, we will withdraw, and we will not be able to miss anything! Look at you, now you want guns and no guns, you want money and no money, just like a flower child, now that the opportunity is in front of you, what should you do if you say it yourself! "War celebration is coarse, but it will also be exciting.

Sun Chaoyang gritted his teeth and stared at Zhao Shangzhi's eyes: "You are the political commissar of our army, you have the final say, but my brother reminds you that in a few days, Brother Qingxi will inevitably be separated from us, and when the time comes, it will be a problem for us to eat, and the opportunity is rare!" After this village, I am afraid that there will be no such shop. ”

Zhao Shangzhi's heart was like lightning, his face was uncertain, the embarrassing situation in the past few months had tormented this steady and shrewd man to the point of exhaustion, thinking about the harsh reality and future development, he could only put his mind down: "!" ”

Before the words fell, Zhan Qingxi and Sun Chaoyang had already turned around and ran out, and two very famous loud voices rang out like wolf howls.

At this time, the brothers, including Zhan Qingxi, did not know that their action of attacking Beipiao City again triggered a chain reaction, and then the Linghe Iron Bridge was bombed, and the Japanese army of a wing of the Chaoyang Eighth Division was ambushed one after another, and the upper echelons of the Kwantung Army were extremely angry, regarding it as a great shame, and finally triggered a huge melee between 40,000 Japanese troops, 70,000 puppet troops and 100,000 anti-Japanese coalition troops gathered in western Liaoning.
