The Shimen position was originally jointly defended by the 36th Division and the 114th Division, but the Fujin Mountain position was tight, and all the troops of the 36th Division on the Shimen position returned to the main position, and it was handed over to Mu Zhongheng's 114th Division for defense. The 51st Army is the foundation of the Northeast Army, and it joined the anti-Japanese battlefield from the battle on the northern section of the Jinpu Road, and also fought with Komemoto for two years, and its combat effectiveness is considered to be at the midstream level among local troops.

Mu Zhongheng's attention was completely attracted by the Japanese Army's Third Division at this time, and he didn't expect to kill the Sasaki Brigade from the direction of Lu'an. Under the ferocious attack of the Sasaki Brigade, the 114th Division also put up stubborn resistance and killed and wounded hundreds of Japanese soldiers. However, the disparity in combat effectiveness between the two sides still allowed the Sasaki brigade to break through the defense line of Shimen in one day.

Mu Zhongheng saw that he really couldn't stop the Japanese attack, so he could only abandon the Shimen position and retreat to Jinzhai County with the 114th Division. Fortunately, when Mu Zhongheng retreated, he did not forget to send a telegram to Song Xilian, the commander of the 71st Army, telling Song Xilian that the 114th Division was unable to block the Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Lu'an, so he could only abandon the Shimen position.

This telegram surprised Song Xilian, as soon as the Shimen position was lost, the Japanese army could detour back to the rear of the Fujin Mountain position, and encircle the Fujin Mountain position from the face, and the 36th Division would be in danger of being annihilated. Therefore, Song Xilian immediately ordered the 36th Division to withdraw from the Fujin Mountain position and retreat in the direction of Xiaojieling, and at the same time ordered the 61st Division to move closer to the Fujin Mountain position and respond to the retreat of the 36th Division.

On the second day after breaking through the Seikimun position, the Sasaki Brigade rushed from the flank of the Fujinshan position like a tide towards the main position of Fujinshan. And Division Commander Chen Duanhe also received an order from Commander Song Xilian to retreat. Commander Chen Duanhe, who was unwilling, ordered the artillery regiment to shoot out all the shells and then blow up the artillery, while he personally led the remaining thousands of officers and men of the 36th Division to carry out a counter-charge against the Japanese army.

The officers and men of the 36th Division, under the personal leadership of division commander Chen Duanhe, had high morale and rushed down from the top of the hill, leaving the Japanese 3rd Division, which was attacking upwards, unguarded. The 68th Infantry Wing, which was on the offensive footing, was swept away at once, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere on the slopes of several hundred meters from the top of the mountain to the mountainside.

Before the Japanese army came to their senses, Division Commander Chen Duanhe returned to the main peak position with the officers and men of the 36th Division, and withdrew from the back mountain to the bottom of the mountain, at which time the 61st Division also launched an attack on the Sasaki Brigade from the south, covering the 36th Division's safe withdrawal from the Fujin Mountain position. After the 36th Division withdrew from the Fujin Mountain position, the 3rd Division occupied all of Fujin Mountain, and then the task of attacking the mall was completed by the Sasaki Brigade, which was not very damaged.

Let's go back to the 10th Division. At the time of the fierce battle at Fujin Mountain, Gushi's 10th Division did not stop and wait (although some sent Segu Qi south to send hundreds of devils' lives), after capturing Gushi, the 10th Division was divided into two routes, one went north to capture Wulongji (now Huaibin County), and captured here, so that it could transport supplies west along the middle and upper reaches of the Huai River, and the other was to attack Huangchuan along the Xinhe Highway.

The 33rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, which invaded Huangchuan, walked less than 20 kilometers out of Gushi, and was blocked by a unit carrying a large blade in a small town called Hu Zupu. That's right, they are the 59th Army, the commander, Zhang Zizhong, is now the commander of the 27th Army Corps, and his name is big and the officer is big, but the army is still those armies, the 38th Division, the 180th Division and two cavalry brigades.

Zhang Zizhong's troops were supposed to be guarding the Pinghan line in Xinyang, so how could they go more than 100 kilometers to Gushi County to fight? When he came, what should Xinyang do? Once the Nationalist army on the Gushi and Huangchuan lines was defeated, would there be no shortage of people to defend the Pinghan Line in Xinyang? In fact, Zhang Zizhong did not dare to let go of Xinyang's Pinghan Line without permission, and the reason why he did so was because a heavyweight general of the Nationalist army arrived here in Xinyang.

This is General Hu Zongnan of the First Army of the National Army, and he rushed to Xinyang with the Sichuan Army and Chen Dingxun's 45th Army. The reason why Tang Enbo's troops were able to move south from Zhengzhou and rush to Xinyang was also because the Japanese army focused on the Dabie Mountain and Anqing line. Why didn't the Japanese army launch a strong attack on the Zhengzhou line, so that after capturing Zhengzhou, it would move south along the Ping-Han line to attack Wuhan? What was different from history at this time was that although Lao Chiang had retreated from Xuzhou, he did not blow up the Yellow River dam at the mouth of the garden, creating a yellow flood area of thousands of miles.

In fact, this is also due to the fact that the troops of the national army went from the Songhu battlefield to the Nanjing battlefield and then to the Xuzhou battlefield, because Wang Haitao's participation in the war achieved several times the results in history, while the losses of the main force of the national army were far less huge than in history. For example, the teaching corps, in the history of the defense of Nanjing, tens of thousands of teaching corps were basically exhausted, and they were no longer able to participate in the later battle of Xuzhou.

Today's teaching corps not only retains 20,000 horses, but also because of Wang Haitao's supplement, all six regiments are German armament regiments, three regiments are still German armament regiments equipped with new weapons, and there is an independent artillery brigade with dozens of large-caliber heavy guns and dozens of German-made howitzers. The current teaching corps is one of the absolute main forces in Lao Chiang's hands, and the 14th Division of Tufeiyuan, which guards Lanfeng with a teaching corps, is disarmed and embarrassed.

Moreover, in the northeast, the Soviet Union had a tough attitude towards Little Japan, and a battle of Zhang Gufeng also beat Little Japan in disgrace. Although little Japan and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact again, little Japan never dared to use the Kwantung Army to go south. In this way, except for the First Army attacking Shanxi, the Japanese army on the Zhengzhou front line only had three and a half divisions left, while the Nationalist Army concentrated eight armies including the teaching corps on the Zhengzhou line, with nearly 200,000 troops.

The Japanese army has never been able to break the line from Lanfeng to Zhoukou, and the Japanese army has attacked the north road of Dabie Mountain, and the Pinghan line in Xinyang is in danger of being lost, so the old Jiang ordered Hu Zongnan's First Army and Chen Dingxun's 45th Army of the Northeast Army to return to the Xinyang Pinghan line. Hu Zongnan rushed from the area of Zhengzhou, Henan, and said to Zhang Zizhong, it will take seven days for our army to rush from Heluo to Xinyang and deploy, and your 59th Army only needs to help me withstand it for seven days before Xinyang, and then you can withdraw into Dabie Mountain. Zhang Zizhong replied, "Sample, you are not as big as me, how can my old Zhang listen to you? You say seven days, seven days? No way, I will guard at least ten days.

Zhang Zizhong was originally going to Gushi County to take over the defense of the 61st Division of the 71st Army, but unfortunately it was a day late, and the 61st Division could not withstand the fierce attack of the 10th Division and retreated south. Since Gushi City can no longer be saved, let's stop at Hu Clan Shop to build a resistance position first.

The Japanese army came really fast, the next day it was killed, the 59th Army, two divisions and two cavalry brigades, wielding broadswords and sabers, came and went for two days, I feel that the Japanese army's tenth division, really Taierzhuang was cut in half, the strength is estimated to be about half a division, and the combat effectiveness and firepower are not as strong as those Japanese troops that have been encountered before, not to mention guarding him for ten days and half a month, Lao Zhang even began to want to counterattack and try to recapture Gushi City.

Zhang Zizhong was once and twice and three times, but this time he retreated, and it turned out that what Lao Zhang was facing head-on was really half of the division, that is, the 33rd Brigade of Seya Qi that had been rebuilt after Taierzhuang was annihilated to the ground, and another fierce Okada Zi (Taierzhuang period was Se Wuping, replaced) Eighth Brigade was rushing from Wulongji (now Huaibin County) along the Huaihe River to Huangchuan County, and on the second day it had been killed at the sting set where Huanghuai intersected. Zhang Zizhong was taken aback by his mistake in judgment, and successively dispatched the cavalry brigade and Liu Zhen's 3180th Division to block, and on the third day, he finally blocked the 8th Brigade of the Devils 20 kilometers northeast of Huangchuan City.

What should I do, there are still four days before Hu Zongnan's seven-day appointment, and seven days before the ten days promised by Zhang Zizhong, what else can I do? Lao Zhang ordered, the 180th Division and the Cavalry Brigade that can withstand it will continue to die for me, and the 38th Division, which cannot withstand it, will fight while retreating, and the Hu Nationality Shop is still more than 40 kilometers away from the county seat of Huangchuan, Huang Weigang, you will drag me until the tenth day no matter what. Isn't Lao Zhang worried that the army will collapse and be out of control? I'm sorry, but my dignified 59th Army has only been wiped out, and there is no talk of collapse, and I have never left the pressure to the morality of the fraternal troops.

After Huang Weigang began to implement the method of fighting and retreating to kill the enemy, the effect was actually good, and five days passed, and the Japanese army advanced more than 20 kilometers, the key is that we can still flank the Japanese army from time to time, piecemeal, the results are still good, and the casualties are not large, but the Japanese army does not dare to advance too fast. Lao Zhang then held up again, in this case, the first line of the Huanghe River did not have to fight hard, the main force of the 180th Division pulled back to hold Huangchuan City, only one infantry regiment and two cavalry brigades were deployed on the road, and it was good to slowly grind with the little Japan.

However, the situation on the battlefield could not be simply replicated, and the Okada-funded brigade on the Huai River was much bolder than the Seya brigade, and probably obtained information and guidance from traitors, and after repelling the defenders of Chen Yingzi on the eighth day, it sent a large brigade of infantry and half a cavalry wing in the afternoon of the same day, and made a detour to a village called Wulitang in the southwest of Huangchuan City, where it actually surrounded the military headquarters of the 59th Army.

At that time, Zhang Zizhong himself was in Wulitang, and the civilian and military generals and large and small staff of the entire 59th Army were there, and there was only one special battalion to protect them. The strength of the devil is equivalent to our two battalions, and there is no problem in defeating and repelling one of our battalions, but it is not easy to completely eat one of our battalions, especially Zhang Zizhong's spy battalion, that night, the spy battalion rushed and killed, escorting Zhang Zizhong and the entire 59th Army military headquarters to successfully break through and return to Huangchuan City.
