The Laohugou position is full of dangers, and although the Yue army in the direction of Seng Guanfeng and Majiagou Side Ridge is also actively attacking, it does not have the ferocity of the Yue army in Laohugou! However, even if the army is not killed, under the intensive fire like a storm, it can only hate the battlefield.

Everyone can see that the army in the direction of the Majiagou side ridge is pinning down the feint, and only the tight battle in the direction of the tiger ditch also makes Zhang Xuewu breathe a sigh of relief, if the army in the direction of the side ridge of Majiagou does everything to carry out the onslaught, his plan to counterattack in front of the battle is likely to fail.

And in the headquarters of the 10th Division, the iron-faced Hirose Shousuke slammed the phone on the table, untied his collar and walked around the table a few times, and the staff officers in the tent knew that the division commander had just received a call from the commander of the 14th Division, Matsuki Naoliang, and it was unknown why he was so angry.

Soon, Kazuichiro Enabe, who was directing the attack on the front line, was recruited by Hirose Shousuke into the headquarters, and Hirose Shousuke said with a somewhat hideous look behind the retreat of everyone: "Matsuki, this bastard, he failed to attack on his own, and he actually blamed us for it?" Say we don't cooperate well? Eight grid tooth road! This incompetent and shameless old bastard still wants Commander Muto to plead? ”

Enbe Kazuichiro frowned slightly and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, I believe that Matsuki Naoliang should spare no effort to attack Tiger Gully at this moment, the loss of a brigade commander is such a big responsibility that even Commander Muto can't bear, the attack in the direction of Tiger Gully has never stopped, obviously the 14th Division has suffered unprecedented heavy losses, otherwise the commander of Matsuki Naoliang Division would not be so bright, I think this is likely to be our opportunity?" ”

"Where is the opportunity?" Hirose Shousuke frowned, he didn't see any opportunity here, the terrain of the Majiagou side ridge position is far more unfavorable than that of Laohugou, the attacking troops can only attack the main position of the Chinese defenders along the three ridges, compared to the glory of capturing Chengde, it seems that the casualties of the troops are more important, Hirose Shousuke is not a round of Kazuichiro who is bent on treating soldiers as material consumables, he cares more about the evaluation of the military department after the war, he doesn't want to be considered an incompetent general by the military department because of excessive casualties.

Yuanbu Kazuichiro looked at the Majiagou side ridge on the sand table and said: "Our army has been attacking for several hours in a row, and the local defense system and firepower distribution are almost all figured out, the 14th Division is so impatient to attack, and the [***] new first division in the defenders can still continuously put in counterattacks, I conclude that they must have drawn troops from the Majiagou defense line, so our army should invest in continuous assault with all its strength, and it is expected to break through the enemy in front of it." ”

Hirose Shousuke hesitated for a moment and said, "It's already two o'clock in the morning, are you sure that you can break through the defense line of Naka[***] before dawn?" The troops' ability to sustain attacks is approaching its limit, and it is dangerous to carry out a total attack in a very tired situation. ”

Yuanbu Kazuichiro's legs were full of anger, and he stood up and said: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander!" The lower officer must break through the enemy position before dawn. ”

Hirose Shousuke nodded and said, "Then let it go!" ”

Looking at the back of Enbe and Ichiro leaving, Hirose Shousuke's gaze is a little complicated! Immediately, Hirose Shousuke shifted his gaze back to the sand table, and was surprised that the enemy had given up half of the city to use the favorable terrain to support the triangular defense system, Hirose Shousuke was not only surprised, but also admired the other party's courage! Faced with the superiority of the Imperial Army and the fact that half of the city was garrisoned, this defensive mode had not yet been seen in Hirose Shousuke's memory.

After a burst of rapid artillery fire, Zhang Xuewu's eyes shifted to the direction of the Majiagou side ridge, about half an hour later, Zhao Xinyu's phone call to the division headquarters, the army at all costs and even braved its own artillery fire in the storming of the whole line of the Majiagou side ridge, the ridge and the ravine can be said to be all over the mountains and fields are all the people of the army part of the wave attack, Zhao Xinyu asked the division artillery regiment to give all the dense positions in the front of the Majiagou side ridge position for artillery bombardment, It also demanded that a reserve battalion and a mechanized company directly under the division headquarters be mobilized to attack from the flat pass on the left flank and attack the left flank of the attacking troops, so as to relieve the pressure on the main position.

Zhang Xuewu stood in front of the map and took a deep breath, can his counterattack plan be implemented, if the 10th Division of the Army storms the position on the side ridge of Majiagou, can it be held only by relying on Zhao Xinyu's regiment?

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath, according to Chengde, it is to give the living force of the army an effective blow, so he said to the confidential staff officer beside him: "Tell the commander of the third regiment that the counterattack plan is not rejected, and the artillery regiment can provide a fire strike, only this time, with the existing forces, it will hold the position on the side ridge of Majiagou at all costs, and allow it to give up the first line of defense at the necessary juncture!" At 8 o'clock tomorrow, I will send reinforcements to help him restore his position. ”

After Zhao Xinyu received the order, his hand shook slightly, and his face was a little pale and handed the order to Li Xinkai, the chief of staff of the division who came to supervise the battle. The division may not have understood the situation and determination of the offensive of the army. ”

Zhao Xinyu shook his head and said, "Forget it!" You're here to oversee the war, so what's the matter of speaking for me? The division seat has the tactical arrangement of the division seat, I obey the order, and you will take command for me! There are still five or six hours, I don't go up, I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to withstand it, sooner or later, we will carry guns and eat food, sooner or later, we will be lucky if we don't die in internal friction, and we will die bravely against the Japanese invaders, why can't we erect a monument or something in the future? ”

Li Xinkai nodded and said: "The division seat has the difficulty of the division, hundreds of thousands of troops are defeated like a mountain, if there is no mainstay of this nation, the spirit of this country will be over, this is a lifeless errand, since we are here, we have to let Xiao Yueben see if the bones of our Northeast masters are hard enough, don't fucking catch the Northeast Army and bully it as a piece, Lao Tzu used to be the Northeast Army!" ”

Then please take a seat, if I really can't come back, you can take care of it over there in Beiping, Li Xinkai patted Zhao Xinyu on the shoulder with a slightly sour nose and said, "Your kid is so popular?" Lord Yama did not hesitate to accept that! ”

The 10th and 14th Divisions of the Yue Army launched fierce attacks again and again regardless of casualties as if they were crazy, and even the wing of the 28th Brigade of the Yue Army, which was responsible for containing Seng Guanfeng, also moved in earnest, and the densely packed Yue Army launched an upward attack along the steep hillside.

For a time, the city of Chengde was red by artillery fire, and the position was lost in recovery, lost, and then counterattacked and recaptured! The battle between the two armies in the middle of the night in the bitterly cold winter can be said to have shocked the world!
