Just when Wang Puppet and the Three Traitors thought that they wanted to act as peacemakers for the Japanese army and the Scholar Army to make a fortune by the way, a tragic battle was going on in Shishimen Township, Xinjian County, across the Gan River from Nanchang.

The attacking side was the 213th Wing of the 33rd Infantry Brigade under the 33rd Division. The commander was the wing commander Masashi Iida. The defending side was naturally the First Guerrilla Division led by Xu Zhi, but there was only one Guerrilla Brigade left in Lionmen by the Division. And the commander was also replaced by the brigade commander Zhang Quanyou.

Xu Zhi received Guo Huizhang's alarm, and led his troops to urgently evacuate to Xishan, which was 30 kilometers away from Nanchang, and sent back information from Jiang Tietou, who reconnoitred along the Jiujiang River, saying that about a wing of Japanese troops had appeared in De'an and were marching in the direction of Nanchang. However, in the past few minutes, Niu Dawa, who was in charge of reconnoitring the direction of Duchang, also sent back information, saying that a Japanese army had come out of Duchang City, and it was Nanchang in the direction of its advance. There is still Jiang Tiezhang's third division stationed in Nanchang City, if there are devils only in the direction of De'an, Chu Tiange can send the third division to snipe, but now the Japanese army is also coming in the direction of Duchang, he is worried that the devil will form a breakthrough and attack Nanchang, and the first division will have the possibility of being surrounded, so he made a decision immediately, and asked Jiang Tiezhang to take the guerrilla 7th Brigade and 8th Brigade to Changyi Township to prepare to snipe the enemy in the direction of Duchang, and at the same time gave Xu Zhi an order to let him leave a brigade to snipe the 33rd Division in the area of Lion Gate, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The other two brigades marched to Yongxiu County, trying to snipe the Japanese troops from De'an in Yongxiu, so as to buy time for the Fenglan Mountain Division to withdraw to Nanchang.

Originally, Chu Tiange had another choice, that is, to abandon Nanchang, withdraw the whole army to the south, and then wait for the Japanese troops to disperse, and then wait for the opportunity to break through each or simply bypass the strongholds where their heavy troops were stationed, and break into pieces and go deep behind the enemy to carry out a sabotage battle. But with Ouyang Yun's decision to personally lead six divisions of troops into Jiangxi to fight, he could not afford to lose the strategic point of Nanchang.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing and treacherous. On the battlefield in Jiangxi, the main force of Xue Yue's Central Army in the Ninth Theater was the absolute protagonist, and Chu Tiange's troops were just here to fight soy sauce and wait for an opportunity to take advantage. However, as the Japanese army changed the focus of the attack and the Central Army withdrew from the Gao'an battlefield, for the sake of the safety of the student army, Ouyang Yun had to change the established strategy and let Chu Tiange and them sing the leading role.

Major General Naoki Araki was killed, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese troops in the 33rd Division. The 213th Wing, led by Wing Commander Masashi Iida, came with the mentality of avenging the commander of the Araki Brigade, and immediately launched a tidal offensive against the position of the Lion Gate Cadet Army after entering the battlefield.

Because they had been chased by the division all the time, the cadets of the Third Guerrilla Brigade were simply unable to adopt their characteristic operations, so there were heavy casualties at the beginning. Accustomed to first demoralizing the enemy with mines, then taking advantage of the situation to launch a round of attacks, and then relying on the advantages of the terrain to hold on, now, without the assistance of mine arrays, the "bandits" felt very unaccustomed at first.

Iida Masao stood on a stone about 500 meters away from the Lion Gate Heights, brandishing his command knife to cheer up his subordinates: "The Shina people who killed Araki Chief are on that hill, and the warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, show your martial arts and let the Shina people tremble under our bayonets!" ”

Under his drum cup, the devils of the two brigades did not even carefully check the terrain, and rushed up to the Lion Gate Heights under the cover of nearly ten mortars with 38 large covers.

When the Japanese army launched the first round of attacks, many of the cadets of the 3rd Brigade were using the stones and trees on the mountain to repair their defensive positions according to conventional combat methods. Many people take it for granted that there are minefields that will snipe devils, but they forget about it, because the little devils are so tight that they don't have time to lay minefields.

Witnessing this scene, Zhang Quanyou was so anxious that he shouted: "Damn, what are you doing?" The devil rushed up, threw the stones in his hands, and prepared to fight! "Three boys, hide quickly!" ……

"Woohoo......" The sound of grenades breaking through the air sounded, and mushroom clouds exploded above the lion gate. Thundered! In the deafening explosion, many of the cadets fell down covered in blood, and some were still holding stones that had been dug out of the ground with great difficulty in their hands.

"Get down! Get down! More officers shouted, and some of the bandit-born men rushed forward and kicked those who were still busy repairing the fortifications in the ass or in the crooks of their legs. Many of the cadets escaped as a result, but after a five-minute mortar salvo from the little devil, more than 50 of the cadets of the 3rd Brigade and 1st Regiment still fell.

The bystanders were clear, and the students and soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd regiments lying on the east-facing slope were very anxious. "What's wrong with all the buddies in a group, the little devil doesn't know how to hide in **, isn't this sent to death?" Several "bandits" were discussing, and they were immediately reprimanded by the commander: "Don't talk about others, lie down first!" A group of "bandits" were silent, honestly lying on their stomachs, and not looking up - out of sight was clear.

The salvo of three mortar squads achieved good results, which made Iida Masao's momentum even more aggressive. He raised his command knife towards the hill and shouted, "Attack!" Offensive! ”

The two brigades of devils became more powerful under the shouts of the devil officers, and they quickly approached the top of the mountain, among them, the devils who rushed forward lay on some raised stones, or leaned against the trunk of a tree and began to put their guns.

When the Japanese troops who rushed to the front were only 50 meters away from the top of the mountain, Zhang Quanyou finally straightened out the order of the troops. Zhang Quanyou was the only brigade commander in the First Division who was not from a "bandit" background, and he who had participated in the Battle of Nanjing was well aware of the key points of positional warfare, and seeing that many "bandits" were no longer in a hurry to repair the fortifications, but they were eager to shoot, he shouted loudly: "Wait and shoot again, pay attention to my orders!" ”

"Poof!" Suddenly, a bullet flew almost past his shoulder and hit the stone wall behind him with a crisp crashing sound.

His guard platoon commander Wang Raptor was anxious and shouted: "Brigade seat! Dangerous! Then he rushed up and tried to drag him down.

Zhang Quanyou glared at him and shouted, "Lao Tzu can't die!" Then he continued to shout: "Steady, steady!" ”

Chang Ning, the commander of the first regiment, ran over and said, "Brigade seat, I'll command here, you better go below!" ”

Zhang Quanyou ignored him, but shouted loudly: "Fifty meters, forty meters," and then he dragged one with one hand, dragged Chang Ning and Wang Raptor to the ground, and shouted: "Fight!" ”

Suddenly, the gunfire of the Wei Qing-style assault rifle and the disease-free general-purpose machine gun rang out, and at the same time, at least three bullets almost stuck to his helmet and shot at the stone wall behind him. Then, another string of bullets swept over, all of them swept on the stone wall, and the stone wall "popped" and the stone powder splashed.

The three of them were drenched in stone powder and coughed violently and moved to the battlefield.

And no sooner had they turned behind the stone than the explosion of a grenade—the most adept attack of the guerrilla cadets, had finally come into play.
