The troops are on the west bank of the tributary of the Qingzhang River, tense construction of fortifications, such terrain conditions, the only barrier that can be relied on, is this small river that has formed a thick layer of ice, hoping that the smooth ice surface will allow the attacking Japanese army to slow down and give the troops more time to counterattack.

Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanming looked back and forth worriedly, they were not afraid of the battle, but afraid that after the battle started, the other Japanese troops nearby would quickly surround them, and the division commander was blinded by hatred, they could not change the division commander's decision, they could only do their best to reduce the losses of the troops.

The troops of the independent division were busy building fortifications, and the Japanese army was not idle, and at the military meeting, all because of a sentence from the Japanese spy Xu Fu, he reported to the commander of the Japanese division, in front of him was the troops under the personal command of Tang Qiuli, the commander of the independent division, and he heard the voice of those soldiers shouting the division commander, in Taihang Mountain, the one who was called the division commander must be Tang Qiuli, and there was no other squadron.

The commander of the Japanese division was surprised and delighted, and was surprised that the nemesis of the imperial army, the devil Tang Qiuli was in front of him, so he had to attack his own division? Happily, after going deep into the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains for many days, and without catching any traces of the troops of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli suddenly jumped out, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He asked Matsushita, who was missing half of his ears, his bandages were scattered, and he was extremely wolf, and asked in detail about the situation of the battle in Awacheng, and he had always had a doubt, judging from the fact that the Panasonic Wing had lost more than half of its troops, was it just that there were less than 2,000 people before and more than 10,000 troops later, and that's it?

Why in the face of the strength of one of his main divisions, not only did he not retreat, but instead built fortifications on the spot, with the posture of wanting a decisive battle with himself, with Tang Qiuli's famous murderous name, would he make such a low-level mistake, no, no, there must be a conspiracy among them, the imperial army in North China, there are very few who have not suffered Tang Qiuli's losses, maybe Panasonic can survive the jade shattering, and it is also part of the conspiracy.

Tang Qiuli should have attracted himself to take the initiative to attack, and then, he mobilized other troops to surround the entire division here, the more the Japanese division commander speculated, the more he felt that things were not so simple, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the Japanese army in North China, was frightened by Tang Qiuli, with tens of thousands of heavy troops in his hands, and the strength far exceeded the opponent, but he did not dare to take the initiative to attack, but took a wait-and-see attitude, which was a rare move in the history of the Japanese army's divisional and regimental operations.

At the meeting, the commander of the Japanese division made careful arrangements, and there was only one principle, that is, reserve brigades and regiments, reserve wings, defend on the spot, and not take any offensive actions to attract the troops of the independent division, as the ultimate combat goal.

Yamaguchi was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he fished it out with a net, empty-handed, found nothing, consumed a lot of military supplies, tired and thin the imperial soldiers, burned countless houses, but did not fight a single battle, and if it went on like this, I really didn't know how to explain to Commander Xiangyue.

Yamaguchi is worried, tea and rice do not think, the head of the top melon seeds, there are not a few hairs left, more and more like a big gourd, good news came from the direction of Qinquan, and it is the army personally commanded by the devil, he has been full of gloom for many days, swept away, and issued several orders one after another, all the troops who swept the Taihang Mountain area, immediately moved closer to the direction of Qinquan and participated in the battle of Taihang Mountain.

He and the judgment of the commander of the Japanese division are basically the same, behind Tang Qiuli, there is his main force hidden, the purpose is to eat the imperial army of a division, well, use this division as bait to catch Tang Qiuli, and then, concentrate all the troops, have a decisive battle, the mountain pass is sure, the independent division troops in Taihang Mountain are not many.

The Japanese troops who received the order immediately changed the direction of the march, gave up the original attack target, and moved closer to the direction of Qinquan, thanking the Japanese division commander for his caution, insisting that this was Tang Qiuli's conspiracy, dreaming of fart, scaring himself, and taking a defensive position, Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanwu, only then did they have time to arrange calmly, and they were replaced by other squadrons, and the Japanese army had already been bombarded with fierce shelling, and the infantry swarmed to kill.

In the evening, with the independent second brigade Ma Chaoyang as the forward attack force, the Huangyadong garrison brigade Jiang Yanwu as the second echelon, after a short period of artillery preparation, launched a ferocious attack on the Japanese army in front of them, the slightest contact, the Japanese army immediately abandoned the position and retreated, and then, the second line of defense of the Japanese army was also attacked, the two sides were injured to each other, the Japanese army continued to retreat, and the position changed hands.

The more smoothly the battle was fought, the more chilling Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanwu became, the Japanese army of a division would not be so inexorably fighting, right? When they retreated, they did not panic, but adopted the method of blocking and attacking, and the direction of retreat was due east of Qinquan, which was the starting direction of the Japanese army's attack on Taihang Mountain, and the Japanese army was deliberately inducing us to pursue in depth.

The situation is not good, they discussed, from the attacking troops, pulled out three battalions of patients, respectively to the two flanks of the troops 40 kilometers and flank 50 kilometers behind the guard, the more fierce the attack of the troops of the independent division, the more convinced the commander of the Japanese division in his own judgment, the more handy he retreated, he kept receiving reports that the Chinese army caught up, and the fish bit the hook.

In the light of the explosion, Ma Chaoyang was shocked to find that the division commander rushed in front of the troops, followed only seven or eight guards by his side, tracer bullets flew around him, and from time to time there were columns of smoke from explosions, blocking Ma Chaoyang's sight, and his heart was clenched.

At this time, Tang Qiuli had already entered a state of madness, watching the Japanese soldiers fall down like wooden stakes under the shooting of Tang Long's gun, his heart had a kind of happy madness, and the pain in his heart was relieved with the joyful flying bullets, and he caught a Japanese second lieutenant, and he put the muzzle of the gun against the head of this Japanese second lieutenant, "Say, in that direction is the Panasonic Wing?" ”

This guy looked at Tang Qiuli dumbfounded, with a demented expression on his face, a little second lieutenant, where did he know the retreat sequence of the troops, Tang Qiuli pulled the trigger, a shuttle bullet, all poured into his head, and caught six or seven Japanese soldiers, all of whom did not know the specific location of the Panasonic Wing, and were all shot in the head by Tang Qiuli without exception.

Where the gunfire was the most intensive, Tang Qiuli rushed wherever he went, and the guards who followed him did not dare to dissuade him at all, even the captain was forced by the division commander with a gun, and rushed to the side, he could only try his best to cover him, and he had already been wounded three people, one of whom was seriously injured, if it wasn't for their own duties, such a battle, they would not have suffered any damage.

Ma Chaoyang hurriedly sent his guard battalion over, and ordered the battalion commander to take extraordinary measures, be sure to escort the division commander back to the command headquarters, if the division commander shoots you, I will posthumously recognize you as a martyr, remember, any of us can lose our heads, and the division commander can't hurt a single hair.

Watching the soldiers of the guard battalion leave, Ma Chaoyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, God, why did he rush to the front, Captain Huang? If the division commander has anything to do, how can he explain to the independence is hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the old brigade commander still doesn't shoot himself, he knows too well the deep feelings between Su Jingfeng and the division commander.

After pursuing more than ten kilometers, the Japanese army did not retreat, and the nearest brigade and regiment from them came closer, and the two Japanese troops together, the strength of which had reached more than 40,000 people, arm in arm, formed a solid defensive line, and the light and heavy machine guns were as fierce as a violent wind, and in the night, the bullets were as dense as flying locusts, weaving into a web of death, and the troops could not attack.

When the brigade sharp knife battalion was left behind, there was only the battalion commander covered in blood and a thick bandage on his head, with less than 300 scarred soldiers, to report to the brigade commander, the battalion commander looked ashamed, he was on a mission, specifically looking for the location of the Panasonic Wing, and he didn't find it all the way.

At the time of the last attack, the defensive firepower of the Japanese army suddenly more than doubled, and he had to leave it behind, Ma Chaoyang did not have the slightest intention of reproaching him, and ordered him to hurry to the back to rest, and handed over the task to the other battalions.

This is one of his main battalions, more than 700 people, never suffered such a big loss, in all battles, have made meritorious deeds, the tip of the knife has been broken, it is useless to fight again, he ordered the troops, defend on the spot.

Then, in a hurry, they ran to the headquarters, no matter what, they had to persuade the division commander to withdraw from the battle immediately, the situation was very bad, the Japanese army suddenly stopped retreating, and the firepower increased greatly, it can only be a situation, their reinforcements arrived, and other reinforcements are encircling here, and if they don't get out of the battle, they will be surrounded by Japanese devils.

On the way, Jiang Yanming, who had the same idea, received even worse news in his brigade headquarters, and the troops on both flanks reported that they had found a large number of Japanese troops concentrating in the direction of Qinquan from the north and south, and it was expected that they would arrive here in four hours, and they were closely monitoring the movements of the Japanese troops.

The flank and rear also reported that no Japanese troops were found within 50 kilometers, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, the Japanese troops had not attacked too deeply, otherwise, it would be a situation where they were copied back roads.

Tang Qiuli saw the two of them and asked angrily, "Why did you stop attacking?" Kiyoichi Matsushita? Xu Funia? Did you find the location of Panasonic United? How many people died, and you were scared?

Okay, you give up the position of the brigade commander, and I will command the troops," the two brigade commanders could not answer, the division commander did not know the danger of the situation, the troops were about to be surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops, and it was unknown whether they could get out of the battle.

The people in the command headquarters looked at each other, changed, the division commander changed, became like a stranger, they had never seen such a speech to their subordinates, their words were harsh, arrogant, and every word was heart-wrenching, Chief of Staff Yu Guanghan, Director of Investigation Shen Jun, and Director of Intelligence Yu Deshui, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly, there was an unbearable silence, only Tang Qiuli's angry roaring voice.

The mountain tiger covered in gunsmoke knows the root cause of Tang Qiuli's changes best, at this time, there is only one person who can dissuade him, that is, Mei Ting, before, when he was in the Northeast, whenever Xiao Qiu lost his mind, it was Xiao Ling who came to persuade him, and he quietly walked to Mei Ting's side.
