"Military Seat, telegram of the 53rd Army." Outside, a staff officer knocked on the door with a telegram and walked in.

"What's the matter?" Wang Tiehan asked.

"Wan Fulin asked why our troops intercepted the retreating soldiers of the 53rd Army."

"There is still a face to mention, call him back, the defeated soldiers who retreated to Xifengkou have not yet seen the soldiers of the 53rd Army in formation, there are too many defeated soldiers, and there is no time to distinguish them for a while. Please move forward with dignity and come to confirm whether the rout intercepted by our department is a subordinate of the 53rd Army. Wang Tiehan smiled coldly.

"This trick of the military seat is amazing, presumably Wan Fulin can't pull this face to lead the rout back."

Xiong Fei laughed when he heard this, the wicked need the wicked to grind, Wang Tiehan seems to be a very dogmatic person, but he didn't expect to make such a damaging method.

"I can't help it, Zhuang Huchen's regiment is disabled, and he has to pull some troops to supplement him, the Great Wall War of Resistance is only at the beginning now, and there are many vicious battles in the back, how can it be done if the 2nd Division is not reorganized, it has been time-consuming and laborious to transport ordnance from Gansu, and you can't add a burden to the commander for everything." Wang Tiehan spread his hands, and the incompetence of the Northeast Army in the Anti-Japanese War made him break the last bit of incense friendship.

"Yes, it's hard to be a commander. The mixed fourth brigade brought out by Jiang Wenhao in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War was spelled out, and now our temporary first army is the essence of the 15th Route Army. If you put it back together, it will take a lot of effort to rebuild the group. Xiong Fei nodded approvingly, although the momentum of the 15th Route Army is like a grand momentum now, there are definitely a lot of internal troubles, and the elite of the Temporary First Army is not something that can be pulled up.

Xifengkou is a gap in the Great Wall of eastern Hebei. Outside the mouth, the peaks rise. Naturally, this military location was formed. The Great Wall meanders, which is the barrier of North China in the north, and is the throat of Hebei and Rehe. When the Japanese army attacked Rehe, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army originally gathered in Sanhe, Yutian and other places, preparing to occupy the line from Yiyuankou to Erpeng to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward. It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, the Northeast Army was defeated too quickly, and the situation in Rehe took a sharp turn for the worse, so Song Zheyuan changed the original plan and gathered the main force on the first line of Xifengkou, after the Japanese army defeated the Wanfulin Division, a Japanese army advanced lightly and occupied a commanding height in the northeast of Xifengkou, and the brigade commander Zhao Dengyu urgently ordered his subordinate Wang Changhai to lead the troops to counterattack, and the Japanese army fought fiercely several times, repeatedly fighting for pressure. The Northeast Highlands have changed hands several times, and the soldiers are all bloodstained under their feet. In the end, in the tragic hand-to-hand combat, nearly 200 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and the commanding heights of the northeast were firmly in their hands.

Before the arrival of the main force of Wang Tiehan's temporary army, Song Zheyuan suffered a lot of losses under the fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, although the fierce resistance also caused some casualties to the Japanese army, but his own losses were far more than the Japanese army several times. This style of play naturally outweighs the losses. Song Zheyuan quickly made adjustments to his own troops, and transferred the special service battalion of Zhao Dengyu's 109th Brigade, Wang Changhai's 217th Regiment, Dong Shengtang's 224th Regiment, Tong Jinrong's 218th Regiment's 1st Battalion and the 220th Regiment's pistol team out of Panjiakou to attack the north of the Japanese army. The 113th Brigade of Tong Zeguang led Li Jiusi's 226th Regiment and the 218th Regiment out of the Tiemen Pass and attacked the enemy's left back. The 110th Brigade of Wang Zhibang led Liu Jingshan's 219th Regiment and the 3rd Battalion of the 220th Regiment to defend their main position, pinning down the Japanese army in front and waiting for an opportunity to come out.

That night, Zhao Dengyu's night attack team marched lightly, and in the early morning, when most of the Japanese army was sleeping, they used sharp soldiers to kill the Japanese sentry, and led the broadsword team to rush and kill. The bloody fight lasted for nearly four hours, and in the fight of the broadsword team, some powerful characters also emerged, a young man Chen Yong, who was only 19 years old, fought out 13 elite Japanese soldiers, including 4 Japanese soldiers, in hand-to-hand combat. This is simply an incredible thing for the Japanese army, whose white-knuckle combat technology is still above the 29th Army. Zhao Dengyu, who has learned martial arts, personally led his troops to charge into battle, stabbing dozens of Japanese soldiers, and suffered many injuries on his body without getting out of the line of fire. Successively captured more than ten Japanese strongholds such as Xiaoxifengkou, Caijiayu, Xibaozi, Houzhuzi, and Heishanzui.

The night attack team of the right wing Tong Zeguang Brigade went out of Tiemen Pass, and even annihilated the Japanese troops at Lingzhuang and Guanwangtai, and joined Wang Changhai of the left wing night team at Baitaizi, and then attacked the Japanese army that occupied the northeast highlands again to the south. The frontal defense of Wang Zhibang's brigade jumped out of position to attack the Japanese army in front of it while the night attack team attacked, but the Japanese army was condescending and waiting for reinforcements. Wang Zhibang lacked heavy weapons, the beginning of April in the north was still extremely cold, the remnants of snow last winter had not completely melted away, and the climb up was only stabbed to death by the Japanese army, and the battle lasted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, losing some soldiers, Wang Zhibang only regretted that he led the troops and the night attack team to evacuate to the original defense line.

"That night, the night attack team of the 29th Army killed nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers, captured 18 Japanese artillery pieces of various types, took away 11 guns, blew up 7 heavy 75MM field guns, destroyed 5 Japanese armored vehicles, captured more than 30 machine guns, and a Japanese combat map."

Compared with the water-filled results of the 29th Army's propaganda to the outside world that nearly 5,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, the first-hand information Jiang Li obtained was closer to the facts. The Japanese army is not a soft persimmon, it is unthinkable that a night attack can kill 5,000 people in an open position, and in the Mukden War of Resistance, Jiang Li built a large number of trenches, supplemented by a large number of machine guns and pistol teams.

Pistols and machine guns are more than ten times that of the 29th Army, and mortars, all kinds of artillery and ammunition are not at the same level as the 29th Army. The place of battle was still in the trenches of the defenders at that time, and the Japanese army, as the attacking side, fought for several months, and the Japanese army only suffered such a big loss once, and its own casualties were not lower than those of the Japanese army. With his own people, although the 29th Army is united and the soldiers use their lives, it is countless times stronger than the Northeast Army under Zhang Xueliang. But to say that a night attack can kill more than 5,000 elite Japanese troops by relying on white-knuckle combat, it is still on the position of the Japanese army, and many officers and soldiers of the 15th Route Army, who have fought with the Japanese army, do not believe it. However, in the successive defeats of the war, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, and it was rare that the 29th Army still had the ambition to take the initiative to attack, and achieved such fruitful results, and the morale was commendable, and the 15th Route Army naturally would not do this villain's trick to demolish the 29th Army.

"The difference is here, once the Japanese army gains the momentum, the aircraft, artillery, and ground troops chase and fight fiercely, and they can often maximize the results of the battle and do their best to eliminate the Republic of China army. Although the 29th Army won a victory this time and stabbed the Japanese army into a position of the 14th Brigade and stabbed it into a thousand holes, but due to its own serious lack of firepower, it was unable to eat the Japanese troops who were holding the stronghold in a short period of time. can only retreat to the original front, watching the Japanese army regroup, missing such a good situation, but unfortunately Commander Wang's troops have not yet entered the Xifengkou line, otherwise this time the Japanese 14th Brigade will not be able to eat and walk. Zhao Yi sighed with emotion. (To be continued.) )
