For the villagers of Guan Tang Village, Chinese New Year's Eve in 1939 was a day to remember. The honest Jiangxi veterans were first frightened to death by the sound of guns and cannons close at hand, and then woke up in panic when the whole family gathered together to sleep, only to find that a group of soldiers claiming to be from the guerrillas of the Cadet Army launched military coats and canned food from house to house. The old cousins were flattered, and when they learned that the Cadet Army had just won a great victory and annihilated thousands of devils, they were overjoyed, and many people set off firecrackers in front of their homes to celebrate.

Whether it is a military coat or a canned food, it is naturally captured and mixed into the Fourth Brigade. The fighting that took place in the vicinity of the Zhangyang Chain Bridge ruined the fields of the villagers in Guantang Village, and in order to detonate the mines planted in the east and north of the village, some houses and haystacks were naturally destroyed. The corpses of the devils also had to be buried, and the military coats and cans were just used to compensate the old cousins for their losses and as their wages for burying the corpses of the devils.

It was a big win indeed. In the ambush of Tietoufeng, more than 11,000 people were mixed into the fourth brigade, more than 3,000 people were drowned, and more than 3,000 people were poisoned by mustard gas. In a regiment of the puppet army, more than 700 people, including the regiment commander, were killed, and about 300 people were captured alive.

On the side of the Third Guerrilla Division, about 4,500 people were killed, of which the Eighth Brigade lost about 2,600 men.

After spending five hours cleaning up the battlefield, Jiang Tiezhang left the Eighth Brigade responsible for collecting and cremating the fallen comrades, and then drove straight to Wannian County with a large amount of captured loot.

The Chinese New Year's Eve of 39 was a harvest night for the Cadet Army.

The Iron Head Peak ambush was an unexpected surprise. And Fuding's victory is a big gift from Gu Shoufu. Yushan's victory is the credit of "Thunderbolt".

In the defense of Yushan, the Second Army was very difficult to resist at the beginning. Saburo Miura completely tore the face of the soldier - the Japanese infantry used poison gas bombs once the attack was unfavorable, and the drug trafficking mask had a limited protective effect on mustard gas. The two infantry regiments of the 15 th Brigade, the independent regiment directly under the brigade and the guard battalion were continuously filled in, and the battle lasted until half past one in the morning, leaving only more than 300 of the more than 3,500 cadet soldiers, and two of the three regiment commanders were killed in the battle.

The battle was now in a stalemate. On the side of the Second Army, the Bian Strategy Department of the 18th Brigade replaced the 15th Brigade of Du Linzi. The artillery regiment of the 15th Brigade had also suffered heavy losses in the Japanese bombardment before, and now it can be said that the whole brigade was exhausted, and their opponent, the 65th Infantry Wing, could not take advantage, one brigade was almost completely annihilated, and the other three brigades lost their combat effectiveness. Of course, from the point of view of Saburo Miura and Shunroku Hatata, they thought that they had earned it, because the Japanese not only advanced the battle line several hundred meters, but most importantly, occupied the fourth and fifth trenches.

The two sides are redeploying troops to rearrange their positions, and news has come from the battlefield of Tietoufeng.

In the headquarters of the Hufeng Frontline Cadet Army, the communications staff officer stood up and shouted in surprise to Ye Zhao, Du Linzi and Bian Mouxue: "Good news, good news, the Third Guerrilla Division successfully ambushed the mixed Fourth Brigade at Tietou Peak, annihilating more than 10,000 enemies!" ”

Ye Zhao and the others had been looking very solemn before, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard the news. The northwest direction is worry-free, so there is no need to hide the snow of the 1st Brigade of Special Artillery as the most powerful killer weapon. On the Eagle battlefield, the Japanese army had an advantage in strength and an absolute numerical advantage in uniform, which made Ye Zhao dare not expose the artillery in his hand prematurely, for fear that he would be calculated by the Japanese army. Now, it's time to compete with the little devils.

Originally, the artillery of the Second Army had a total of seven regiments (the establishment of the Second Army varies, among which the establishment of the Second Army is as follows: the Fourth Division and the Fifth Division are infantry divisions, and each brigade has two infantry and one artillery; The 6th Division is a tank division, of which the 16th Brigade and the 17th Brigade are the tank brigades, two vehicles and one step, and the 18th Brigade is an infantry brigade, and the establishment is the same as above, two steps and one artillery) Another brigade (directly under the army), after these days of fighting, two regiments were blown up by the Japanese air force, and at present, the artillery of each division is distributed on the front line of Leping and Dexing, and on the Yushan side, there is only one heavy artillery brigade directly under the army.

Angered by the Japanese army's poison gas bomb tactics, Ye Zhao slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and said left and right: "It's time for the Second Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade to attack." The 4th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment was the first to attack, and the 5th and 6th Regiments were on standby - even if the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade was lost, all the devil artillery must be destroyed! ”

Du Linzi's 15th Brigade suffered heavy losses in the poison gas bombs of the devils, and half of the soldiers killed in the battle were injured by the poison gas bombs. It's just that I wonder if the devils will attack overnight? ”

The air supremacy of the Shangying battlefield was completely controlled by the Japanese army, which was the most passive place for the Second Army at present. Otherwise, with the sharpness of the Second Army's uniforms, how can the artillery of the little devils be allowed to wreak havoc everywhere.

Ye Zhao: "These are not within our consideration, the water comes to cover the earth, the soldiers come to block, whatever the devil does!" Xiao Du, over there of the 1st Special Artillery Brigade, you can pick it up. Be sure to do a good job of concealment! Now the Hufeng area is too chaotic! ”

After the Xuebing Army captured Shangrao and Yingtan, it spent great efforts to renovate two mountain roads connecting northeast Fujian and southeast Jiangxi. One of them is from Pucheng County through Guangfeng County to Shangrao City; There is also one from Wuyi Mountain, through Leadshan County, and then to Guixi City to Yingtan City. The completion of these two mountain roads has greatly facilitated the dispatch of the troops. When Ye Zhao asked Du Linzi to pick up the 1st Special Warfare Brigade, the 1st Special Warfare Brigade was already less than 30 kilometers away from Guangfeng.

In the Japanese military headquarters in Wencheng Town, Yushan County, Keisuke Fujie and Saburo Miura received a call from Shunroku Hata and were told the news that the 4th Brigade of the Mixed Brigade had almost been wiped out at Tietou Peak, and the two of them looked at each other in disbelief what they had heard.

When Shunroku Hata received the battle report at first glance, his reaction was almost the same as theirs. The 5th Army's New Year's strategy, although almost half of the troops were gathered in the direction of Yushan, but because the Hufeng front line was the key defense line of the Xuebing Army, he was actually not optimistic about the bright line of Yushan. I can't understand how the mixed fourth brigade was ambushed, and which unit of the Cadet Army set up the ambush. Of course, that doesn't matter anymore. The New Year's strategy must continue, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor and the Tokyo base camp will not be able to explain. Since the dark line of sneak attack on Yingtan can't be walked, there is only one way to go all out to manage the bright line of Yushan.

Shunroku Hata was really angry, and he said that Shinkura Iknon was worthless on the phone, and threatened to send him to a court-martial. Cursing Xincang Yinong fiercely, he changed his mind and said: "The sneak attack on Yingtan has failed, and now it's up to you." There is no war report from Fuding for the time being, but I estimate that the South China Front will not be able to please Lu. Jiang Guangnai is a famous general in Zhinai, and he has been operating in Fuding for more than two years, and Fuding must be solid. Matsui Ishine was timid, and he definitely didn't dare to let go of the battle, but Gu Shoufu was determined to move forward recklessly, and the rear coach and the front general disagreed. Fujie-kun, Miura-kun, Commander Guzhuang and I are looking forward to the good news from you in Quzhou, and I hope you will not let us down! ”
