"Yaga, Yaga"

Kenten Iino was so angry that he was like thunder, and he frantically brandished his saber and just wanted to cut people.

Unfortunately, the Matsushima squad finally failed to withstand the counterattack of the national army and lost the high ground too quickly, as a result, the national army set up machine guns on the high ground and strafed the 3rd infantry brigade again, leaving more than 100 corpses.

After roaring for a long time, Iino Kenjucai calmed down again, and while organizing troops to continue the attack, he sent a communication soldier to report to Matsuura Junrokuro, asking Matsuura to give him another half a day, and made a military order with Matsuura, if he could not break through the defense line of the national army's Wanjialing before dark, he would seppuku to thank the emperor.

Matsuura Junrokuro was also angry when he heard the news, but he was also helpless, the L13th Infantry Wing was the most veteran in the entire 10th Pei Regiment, and Iino Kenten was also the most capable of the four infantry wing captains, and now even Iino Magi and the L13th Infantry Wing were not good, and there was no hope for someone else or another infantry wing.

What's more, the rest of the national troops in all directions have come over one after another, especially the national army behind the buttocks, which is launching a fierce attack on the broken Ichikawa United, Ichikawa Yozo has sent people over twice, claiming that the offensive of the National Army is very fierce, and the casualties of the Ichikawa Wing are also very large, and they may not be able to support it for too long.

There was no way, Matsuura Junrokuro could only strictly order the Ichikawa Wing to continue to defend the front line of Changling, while anxiously urging Honma Masaharu's reinforcements to carry out a joint attack on the direction of Wanjialing as soon as possible.

Honma Masaharu didn't shirk much, after receiving a telegram from Junrokuro Matsuura asking for help, he called through Nagami Toshitoku's words, and urged Nagami Toshitoku to speed up the march again, Nagami Toshitoku immediately ordered to abandon the search march, and the whole army changed to run and march straight to Wanjialing, which is very dangerous, once there is an ambush of the national army nearby, then what awaits the Nagami Corps is the end of the annihilation of the whole army, but Honma Masaharu urges very urgently, and Nagami Toshitoku can't take care of it much.

At this point, the performance of the Japanese army was much stronger than that of the national army, and the national army was prone to factions, and the upper peak deliberately made things difficult for the lower ranks, and the lower levels were all over the place, and even the most critical juncture of the war was not uncommon, but there were no factions within the Japanese army, and the execution of orders was also resolute.

Feng Shengfa also made a mistake, he did not predict that the reinforcements of the Honma Masaharu Division would be desperate to go straight to Wanjialing, so he did not consider setting up ambushes at several dangerous places leading to Wanjialing in the first division, but only placed Chen Shizheng's 344th Regiment in the area around the tip of the hourglass, preparing to block.

Therefore, the reinforcements of the 1st Division ran more than 30 kilometers in less than three hours, and just after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the reinforcements led by Nagami Toshitoku appeared near Wanjialing, and then launched a fierce attack on the hourglass position where the 344th Regiment was stationed, and the two Japanese troops attacked fiercely against the narrow position held by the 58th Division, and even the gunfire on the opposite side could be clearly heard.

In the face of the east-west attack of the two divisions of the small Japanese, Feng Shengfa could no longer stay in the 343 regiment headquarters to supervise the battle, and immediately returned to the division headquarters with Yang Shaoren, but before leaving, Feng Shengfa still transferred a battalion from the 347 regiment as a reserve to strengthen the strength of the 343 regiment.

Back at the division headquarters, Deputy Division Commander He Lingxiao was already so anxious that he jumped there.

Seeing Feng Shengfa, He Lingxiao hurriedly came up and shouted: "Master, hurry up and ask for help from the military seat and the general seat." ”

The two brigade commanders of Fang Riying and Zhu Qi also looked anxious, the 58th Division originally only had three main regiments, and Han Keqiang's 348th Regiment had not yet made contact with Pei and did not know that the 348th Regiment had actually been martyred).

Feng Shengfa took off his steel helmet and handed it to Zhang Shaojie, but he pursed his lips tightly and did not say a word.

There are no soldiers to adjust there at all, and the general seat is only afraid that it is enough, don't look at the L Corps, there are ten corps and twenty divisions with 300,000 people, and they can go to the front defense line of Ruiwu Road and Nanxun Line, and there will be little left immediately, not to mention, even if Xue Yue sends reinforcements, it will be too late, and when the reinforcements arrive, the daylily will be cold.

(Dividing Line)

Dean, Commander of the L Corps.

Xue Yue really didn't plan to send reinforcements to the 58th Division, because the Matsupu Division reacted quickly and turned around and retreated decisively before the situation deteriorated, resulting in the 41st, 8th, and UU Army units could only follow behind the little Japanese butt and chase fiercely, at this time, the troops were dispatched to take a long detour to Wanjialing to reinforce the 58th Division, it was better to bite behind the Matsuura Division and continue to put pressure on the Matsuura Division, so that it could not attack the 58th Division unscrupulously.

Following Ou Zhen's 4th Army, the 8th Army also rushed to the vicinity of Changling, but the vicinity of Changling is also a lofty mountain, except for the only mountain road, it is difficult to find another passage nearby, and it is time-consuming and laborious to reopen the passage from the mountain, so the situation is a little dull for the time being.

At least for the time being, it is unrealistic to quickly crush the rearguard units of the Matsuura Division.

The current situation is like a chess game, little Japan bites a small dragon of the national army, and the national army bites a big dragon of little Japan, whether Zuihou eats the little dragon of the national army and rescues its own big dragon, or whether the national army eats the big dragon of little Japan in one bite, the key depends on whether the little dragon of the national army is long enough.

The little dragon of the national army is, of course, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division.

Looking at the small red basket flags that were gradually intertwined on the sand table, Xue Yue asked Wu Yizhi: "Chief of Staff, what is the situation over there?" Did the 58th Division suffer large casualties? ”

Wu Yizhi said: "The 58th Division only sent a telegram, saying that the situation can still be maintained. ”

Can the situation still be maintained? Hearing this, Xue Yue first breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt guilty in his heart, of course Xue Yue knew that behind this ordinary sentence that the situation could still be maintained, was the bloodshed and sacrifice of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 58th Division, and the 58th Division actually needed reinforcements as well, but Feng Shengfa didn't say it.

If you change to another division commander, I am afraid that you will already complain bitterly.

"Feng Shengfa is a man, I owe him this time." Xue Yue suddenly said thoughtlessly, "But no matter what, we have to wait until the battle is over." ”

(Dividing Line)

The offensive of the 1st Division was unusually fierce.

Unlike the Songpu Division, the reinforcements of the 1st Division brought a mountain artillery brigade over, and it is not unreasonable for artillery to be called the king of war, with or without artillery to participate in the war are completely two concepts, and mountain artillery and 92 infantry artillery and mortars are two concepts, of course, mountain artillery and heavy artillery are not the same level of weapons.

Because the Matsuura Division had to intersperse detours from the mountains and mountains, in order to reduce the obstacles to the march, it only carried a small number of infantry guns and mortars, while the first division could march along the bullet stone road, so it was able to carry 75mm caliber mountain artillery and 75mm caliber mountain artillery with mules and horses, which was enough to blow up the temporary fortifications of the national army to pieces.

To make matters worse, the topography of the Hourglass Tip is far less favorable than that of the Hourglass Peak, which is not steep or steep, but there are at least two small hills in front of it that act as a barrier and can support each other, but the Hourglass Tip has only two almost connected hills, and the terrain is more gentle and the vegetation is sparse than the Peak.

The defense line of Chen Shizheng's 344th Regiment was soon shattered by the impact of Little Japan, and it was full of dangers.
