"Nani, there are troops on the left and right sides of our army, are you sure?" After reading the telegram sent by the division headquarters, Major General Akiyama was not calm, and shouted loudly to Hatoyama Nakasa, chief of staff of the 127th Infantry Brigade.

"Hai, this is an urgent telegram sent by the division headquarters with a secret message, presumably there will be no leave, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Baga, you immediately send a search team, you must find out how many troops are on the east and west sides, you should know that the troops in the encirclement can't last long, if you withdraw now, our efforts for a day and a night will be in vain, I am not reconciled!" Major General Akiyama said loudly.

"Hai, let's do it!"

Unlike the angry Major General Akiyama, at this time, the previous decline in the command headquarters of Zhaojialiang Village was swept away, and Liu Li said loudly to the officers of the brigade headquarters: "Everyone, I just received a telegram from the general assembly, the two infantry divisions of our army have reached the periphery of the battlefield, and are now approaching the battlefield, in addition to the infantry, the reinforcements also have three artillery brigades and an armored regiment, and the time has come for us to counterattack!" ”

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

"Okay, pass on my order: the guard battalion, the first regiment and the third battalion, and the second regiment and three battalions are all pressed on the old lady, and all the assault rifles are adjusted to a continuous state, the old lady can't do it!"

"Yes"

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

The chief of staff of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, who was commanding the operation on the front line, suddenly discovered that something was wrong, and the firepower of the Shina army on the forward position suddenly increased several times. The imperial troops who rushed to the front were knocked down one by one, and the already dense blocking position suddenly rose to a steel barrage, and the charge of a reinforced squadron was beaten down in less than three minutes, looking at the sparsely withdrawn imperial warriors, Isoda Saburo Osa's heart twitched, this Nima's is really terrifying, it's only a few minutes, and there are less than 110 people left in a 240 reinforced squadron, and if it continues like this, it will not be enough to fill in the troops.

What puzzled Saburo Isoda the most was that the number of defenders on the opposite position had not increased, but why had the firepower become so strong? In fact, where did he know the Tao. The firepower of the 3rd Task Force should have always been so strong and fierce. However, because the southward operation was too hasty this time, the troops had to carry very limited ammunition, and if they were to follow the rate of fire of the assault rifle burst fire, the ammunition they carried would not be enough for half a day. Therefore. Liu Li had to order the troops to adjust the firing status of all assault rifles to single shots. Otherwise, such a fierce firepower would have taken care of the little devil a long time ago.

Now reinforcements have arrived. There was no need to restrain itself, so the 3rd Special Task Force Brigade really showed its minions, a firepower network composed of more than 1,200 assault rifles in all green. It was enough to tear apart the encirclement line of the 114th Division. It is precisely because she knows the strong performance of the assault rifle that Liu Li will let her troops act as a bait that may be swallowed by the Japanese army at any time, anyway, it is really impossible to concentrate all these more than 1,000 assault rifles to break through, presumably the Japanese army's defense line composed of 38 Gaiga crooked light machine guns and 92 heavy machine guns cannot withstand the impact of assault rifles at all, and it is not easy to break through.

The 3rd Brigade of the Special Task Force suddenly became powerful and took the Japanese army by surprise, and the Japanese troops in charge of the charge in the three positions on three sides were crushed. At the same time, under the command of the front-line commander, the 3rd Special Task Force Brigade carried out another large-scale counter-charge, and the Japanese troops were beaten and cried for their fathers and mothers, and the effect was very good.

"Baga, you said that the western branch of our army has a full infantry division?" Major General Akiyama asked in horror.

"Hai, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, not only is there a Shina Infantry Division in the west, but also a Shina Infantry Division in the east, and our search team has also found a large number of Shina combat vehicles, at least more than 100 of them, and they have already exchanged fire with the 118th Cavalry Brigade!" Hatoyama Nakasa reported loudly.

"Chariots, cavalry! Yaga, immediately order that bastard from Tojo to withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it's over, quickly! Major General Akiyama said loudly.

Before Hatoyama could go out, a loud explosion was heard outside the headquarters, and the gunfire in the distance suddenly became intense.

Major General Akiyama's face changed, and he asked urgently: "Heavy artillery, where did the heavy artillery come from!" ”

No one answered him, and the only response was an even more violent explosion outside the command. Suddenly, a shell pierced the canvas on the command tent and exploded quickly inside the command center.

"Boom"

"Your Excellency the Commander of the Protection Brigade!"

Major General Akiyama only had time to hear Hatoyama Nakasa's words, and then the whole person didn't know anything.

After a while, Major General Akiyama heard someone calling him, and although he felt unbearable pain all over his body, he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, but as a soldier, he knew that his responsibility was heavy, and struggled to open his eyes.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is awake!"

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is awake!" The guard shouted excitedly.

"How's it going out there?" Major General Akiyama asked intermittently.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the situation is very bad, the Chinese are equipped with a large number of vehicles, their speed is far beyond our expectations, and now the troops on the east and west sides have exchanged fire with the Chinese people, but the losses are very large, five minutes ago the cavalry 118 brigade was collectively broken." Hatoyama Nakasa said with his head down.

"How's my case?"

Seeing Hatoyama Nakasa's silent expression, Major General Akiyama felt cold in his heart, and the situation was definitely not very optimistic.

"Order Chief of Staff Isoda to temporarily take over the position of commander, and then let him command the troops to retreat, send a report to the division headquarters asking for operational guidance," after Major General Akiyama finished speaking, the whole person fainted again!

When I came, I was uninvited, but when I left, it was not easy to go, the main force of the 52nd Army was actually so easy to break through, fortunately, the Japanese army found it early, and the 52nd Army had not yet pierced the opening, so it left a chance for the Japanese army to escape.

Despite this, the Japanese army still paid heavy casualties, and when Isoda Saburo Osaku stood on his heels in Gujiaying Town, he counted his troops and found that there were only more than 12,000 people left in the entire infantry division, and more than 10,000 casualties in one day and one night, of which more than 4,000 were produced in the course of the battle with the 3rd Special Task Brigade, and the rest were beaten by the 52nd Group Army in the last half hour of the battle.

More importantly, the vast majority of the wounded in this battle have not had time to be sent back to the rear hospital, and together with the field hospital, they have become prisoners of the Chinese people.

When the news reached Beiping, General Binshan Yuan was shocked, although he had already judged China. The army may have launched an attack from the front line of Zhangjiakou, but I did not expect the scale to be so large, the first batch of troops to participate in the attack included 2 infantry divisions and 1 infantry brigade, in addition to a large number of artillery and chariot troops, no wonder the 114th Division suffered a big loss without knowing it.

Thinking that there was now only one infantry division on the Xiayuan front, and now that this infantry division had suffered heavy losses, General Binshan Yuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the 21st Division and the 5th Mixed Brigade in Beiping to rush to Xiahuayuan, and at the same time ordered the 32nd Division in southern Hebei and the 10th Mixed Brigade in Tianjin to immediately go north and enter Beiping.

Out of the importance of the Eighth Theater of Operations in China, Binshan Yuan sent another telegram to the domestic base camp, requesting the base camp to immediately order the newly formed troops to be loaded and transported to China, and this time it will not be transported to Qingdao, so it will be disembarked and landed in Tianjin.

However, what General Binshan Yuan didn't expect was that this was just the beginning, the 114th Division you have just gained a foothold in Gujiaying Town, and you haven't even had time to build a defensive position. The army of more than 50,000 people had already arrived, and the two sides started a confrontation across Gujiaying Town.

At the same time, the front line of Phoenix Mountain, which had not moved, was no longer calm, and news had just come that about an infantry division's Zhina army had crossed the defense area of the Zhina people and marched in the direction of Chengde, and another cavalry unit attacked in all directions, harassing the various strongholds of the imperial army. And the intelligence department received another bad news, that is, the Zhina army on the front line of Phoenix Mountain is far more than one infantry division, and there are at least two infantry divisions and a large number of chariot troops and artillery units assembled there.

On the afternoon of the 29th, two infantry divisions and two artillery brigades suddenly moved south with the cooperation of the chariot unit and the air force, and launched a fierce attack on the Jingle and Xinkou lines where the First Army was stationed.

Although the attack did not last long, it caused great pressure on the imperial army on the front line, and the fourth division, which had just been replenished, lost more than 1,600 people in just half a day, and its morale dropped significantly.

What made Bin Shanyuan feel most angry was that while the 32nd Division of the Imperial Army was heading north, Tubalu, which had not moved, suddenly dispatched, and gathered more than 40,000 people in a short period of time to surround Handan City, apparently not wanting the Imperial Army to go north for reinforcements.

Handan is an important city in southern Hebei, the city not only hoards a large number of weapons and ammunition, but also a large number of looted materials and plundered mineral resources, these things are the fundamental guarantee of the imperial army's next battle, absolutely can not fall into the hands of the people, in desperation, General Binshan Yuan had to transfer an infantry wing from the mixed third brigade stationed in Shimen, and transferred two infantry brigades from the puppet North China Public Security Army to cooperate with the infantry wing to go south.

Bin Shan Yuan did not force them to completely annihilate those hateful dirt roads, but he demanded that they must ensure the safety of Handan City, at least to ensure the material safety of the city within half a month. Bin Shan Yuan thought that the domestic recruits should also arrive in half a month, and then the troops would be sufficient, and it was not certain who would fight who would fight at that time.
