On the east road of the Qiannan defense line, the main battlefield of the Duyun defense battle is in Xiyun Peak, this mountain peak with a radius of only a dozen miles, because it is the defensive barrier of Duyun City, stuck in the only passage for Fengwen to attack the capital of Guizhou in the north, Guiyang has become the focus of contention between the 19th Group Army of the Central Army and the 15th Army of the Japanese Army.

After the arrival of the heavy artillery brigade that Fengwen was looking forward to under the mountain, he immediately launched a fierce attack, from morning to nightfall, in front of Xiyunfeng Mountain, flesh and blood flew sideways, the position became scorched earth, and the city was almost in ruins, and in just one day, the Chi Zifeng Independent Brigade defending the position of Xiyunfeng suffered more than two-thirds of the casualties.

Looking at the bomb craters everywhere, the flatten fortifications and trenches, the many bombed artillery holes, the brothers who were killed and wounded, lying on the flat ground, waiting for the wounded to be transported to the rear, and Chi Zifeng, who has always been brave and good at fighting, couldn't help but gasp, and he couldn't help but gasp, and then he understood why Colonel Chu Tian, the liaison officer of Vice Chairman Tang, did not express his joy at the first victory of Xiyun Peak.

At that time, Chi Zifeng thought that Chutian was jealous, if the fierce Cheng dù of the Japanese artillery fire was a rainstorm, then this time it was a strong wind and hail, the little devil's heavy artillery was really powerful, many brothers were in the artillery hole, and they were shocked to death, their own brigade was over, more than 6,000 people, and they could still hold a gun without injuries, but more than 2,000 people, tomorrow, what will you rely on to hold Xiyun Peak tomorrow?

Arrange the soldiers who can move, don't be afraid of hard work, build fortifications and trenches overnight, strengthen and renovate the cannon holes, Chi Zifeng and the ambulance team transporting the wounded, take advantage of the night, along the traffic trench, back to Duyun City, for this excavation in the anticline of Xiyun Peak. The traffic trench connected to Duyun, Chi Zifeng himself thinks, is the smartest thing he has done in his life, the little devil's heavy artillery is so powerful, like hail, but the traffic trench has not even dropped a shell.

Chi Zifeng came directly to the headquarters of the group army and saw it. It was Commander Guo Huawen's gloomy and terrifying face, he thought. It was in Duyun City, which was shelled by the little devils and suffered losses, so the commander was in a bad mood and hesitated. stepped forward to comfort: "Commander, this is also a matter of no choice, the little devil is a lot of artillery, and I can't see a complete straw stick or a stone the size of a grinding plate on my position." stunned to be blown into gravel, as long as our people are still there, they are better than anything else. ”

Only then did Guo Huawen notice that Chi Zifeng was from the Xiyun Peak position. rushed back, this one of his favorite generals, in one day, the whole person changed, covered in dust and mud, the major general's uniform tore a few big cuts, and on his shoulders, faint blood stains could be seen. A face that was smoked like digging coal. The two big eyes are particularly obvious.

Guo Huawen was distressed for a while, and hurriedly said: "It's Zifeng who is back." Sit down, drink water first, I'll ask the cooking team to get you some food," Chi Zifeng's persuasion, avoiding talking about it, Chi Zifeng smiled and said: "When the commander said this, I'm really hungry and panicked, don't make any good dishes, do you have any wine?" Bring us a bottle, Commander, don't get on fire, do you want to fight, how can there be immortals. ”

Guo Huawen couldn't help it, and said: "Zifeng, do you know, Liu Zhi, that bastard, took our Xiyunfeng victory, went to Chongqing to invite Chairman Jiang to ask for merit and reward, and the 500,000 yuan of ocean rewarded by the Military Commission of the National Government all fell into his personal pocket, and the list of meritorious personnel reported to the Military Commission was all from their Eleventh Group Army, and it has nothing to do with us, which is just that, but Liu Zhi boasted to the reporters that the great victory of Xiyunfeng was won under his command. Zifeng, tell me, is there such a commander-in-chief? ”

Chi Zifeng blew up at that time, and shouted loudly: "Commander, this is too bullying, our brothers risked their lives, but he Liu Zhi picked up the cheap behind, no, Commander, I went to Liu Zhi, I have to find out about this matter, I provoked Lao Tzu, no matter what the commander-in-chief he was, he was shot and killed, Shangfeng blamed it, and I Chi Zifeng took it." ”

Guo Huawen shook his head helplessly and said: "Zifeng, don't be impatient, Liu Zhi ran away again, just after the first shelling by the Japanese army, he asked me to send troops to escort me, if it weren't for those reporters from the Central News Agency who told me the ins and outs of the matter, we would still be kept in the dark," After speaking, he sighed deeply, and Chi Zi turned around the room a few times, unable to get out of his breath, kicked over a chair, and gasped for breath.

Waiting for Chi Zifeng to sit back on the chair, Guo Huawen suddenly asked in a heavy tone: "Zifeng, you tell me the truth, can Xiyun Peak hold it?" Chi Zifeng said without hesitation: "Commander, as long as you give me additional troops and ammunition, unless the little devil steps on my Chi Zifeng's corpse, otherwise, don't think about stepping on Xiyun Peak for half a step, I came back overnight, just to ask the commander to give me additional troops, my troops, can only fight more than 2,000 people." ”

Guo Huawen gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Zifeng, I will take out all the family resources of our Nineteenth Group Army, and fight to the death with the little devils in Xiyun Peak, even if I kill more than 80,000 of our brothers, I can't cheap the little devils, in Duyun City, it was attacked by Japanese artillery fire, and the casualties of the citizens were not small, and the battle situation of the troops was very high, you have been defending Xiyun Peak, I will not change the commander, to ensure that your troops are full of strength, and the vacancies will be filled, and the whole group army will be centered on your Chi Zifeng, and Xiyun Peak will be handed over to you." ”

This is also the decision made by Guo Huawen after painful thinking, if he gives up Duyun and retreats to the front line of Fuquan, the 19th Group Army can keep most of its blood and blood and will not be consumed in the Xiyunfeng position, but can the government agree? That Liu Zhi hated himself to the bones, the first big hat that didn't let go of himself and escaped from the battle could be buckled on his head immediately, and it was death if he died, and it was also a death to retreat, it was better to fight to the death, maybe he could have a glimmer of life. ”

This topic is too heavy, neither of them spoke again, in the headquarters, permeated this tragic atmosphere, at this time, Chu Tian came in from outside, he was busy in Duyun City all day today, on the one hand, helping to rescue the injured citizens, on the other hand, to understand some of the situation of the 19th Group Army, he found that although the Japanese artillery bombardment, although it caused heavy losses to Duyun, but the fighting will of the officers and soldiers of the Central Army was unprecedentedly high, this discovery, made Chu Tian very surprised.

After returning to his residence, he reported all these situations to Tang Qiuli, the division commander who had arrived at the headquarters of the directly subordinate corps, and Tang Qiuli called back, "The matter of joint operations, we must not be in a hurry, the time is not yet ripe, and gradually infiltrate our intentions to Guo Huawen, once the time comes, even if Guo Huawen is unwilling to fight together, I will still launch a full-scale attack on the 15th Army of Fengwen under the mountain according to the plan." ”

Chu Tian didn't know what the timing of the division commander was talking about, if he attacked the Japanese army now, wouldn't it be the same as if he could block Fengwen under the mountain and block it here in Duyun, in fact, the time for Tang Qiu to leave the key was that the Japanese army on the middle and west roads would continue to attack in the direction of Guiyang, so that it would be farther and farther away from Fengwen under the mountain, and it would be too late to turn around and rescue, it was for the fire of the battle of Duyun.

Seeing Chutian come in, Guo Huawen and Chi Zifeng hurriedly gave up their seats, and after more than ten days of contact, Chutian has been recognized by everyone in the headquarters of the 19th Group Army.

After Chu Tian sat down, Chi Zifeng asked impatiently: "Brother Chu, you have also seen today's posture, the little devil's heavy artillery is too much of a threat to us, one shelling, I will lose nearly a thousand brothers, this is still an anti-artillery hole, otherwise, we will not be able to see each other, wait for the commander to collect the corpse for me, what other tricks do you have, we have to defend Xiyun Peak, don't we?" ”

Guo Huawen glared at Chi Zifeng unhappily and said, "Pure nonsense," Chi Zifeng smiled embarrassedly, and Chu Tian did not shirk, and said: "I have some Jianyi, when the Japanese army is bombarded, we can hide most of the troops in the anticline of Xiyun Peak, and leave a small number of observation posts, and when the Japanese army charges, we will immediately enter the position, so that we can minimize the damage of the Japanese artillery to the troops." ”

Chi Zifeng shouted, "Good idea, our anti-artillery hole, can't stand the continuous shelling of the little devil's heavy artillery, I'm worried about this, the hole collapsed, and the brothers were buried alive inside," Chu Tian continued: "On the anticline, reserve the second echelon, and the strength is better than two full regiments, once the front line is tight, you can immediately plug the gap, and you can also see the opportunity to fight a few counter-assaults of the Japanese army, Xiyun Peak is so big, and the strength of the Japanese army at one time will not exceed one division." ”

That night, Chi Zifeng, who was taught by Chu Tianmian to be opportune, returned to Xiyun Peak with the additional strength of the two regiments and sufficient ammunition, and not long after Chi Zifeng left, the troops of the two full regiments, under the leadership of the commander of the 175th Division, quietly entered the anticline position of Xiyun Peak, as the reserve of the Chi Zifeng Brigade, and rushed to the front at any time.

At dawn the next day, the Japanese army began to attack again, as usual was an overwhelming artillery bombardment, Yamashita Fengwen had enough shells, and the supply line from the Beibu Gulf to Duyun had been established, although it was constantly attacked by Shi Jinsheng's special service battalion and special operations detachment, after all, it still could not completely prevent the Japanese army from replenishing ammunition and supplies, after the shelling stopped, the Japanese troops of the three wings launched a frantic and uninterrupted charge, and after a day of bloody fighting, the newly replenished soldiers of the Chi Zifeng Brigade were almost lost.

The 19th Group Army, every day to take out thousands of people, to fill the Xiyunfeng position of the big hole, Yamashita Fengwen also went crazy, although the casualties of the Japanese army, to exceed the Central Army, but the Japanese army's crazy offensive momentum, the slightest decrease, the continuous fighting for seven days, the 19th Group Army has suffered more than 30,000 casualties.

The corpses left by the Japanese army at the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain were only a lot more, high-intensity battles, continuous blood loss, the 19th Group Army gradually showed a tired state, and when life and death were at stake, Guo Huawen couldn't sit still.
