Xie Ming is a very clever person, otherwise he would not have let Zhou Yuan repeatedly pounce in the air and not catch him, after leaving Dayun Mountain, Xie Ming was not idle, and the entire New Fourth Army was not idle, Xie Ming After full reconnaissance, it was determined that the Japanese army and the national army were fighting lively, and this was the opportunity for him to attack! "Listen, this is the main brigade of the Japanese army, it's not a joke, if it is too far, it may not be able to get out, so my requirement is to fight fiercely, attack fiercely, and withdraw quickly!" Xie Ming was making pre-war deployments. "We only have more than a thousand people, how can we fight?" The commissar of the detachment asked. "It's very simple, sound east and west!" Xie Ming pointed to the map and said, "Little Japanese is now fighting with Liu Hai and they are inseparable, the defense must be empty, we will first send a force to attack his field arsenal, the location has been determined, if you blow up his arsenal, the Japanese army will be shocked and angry, and will send people to attack, and at this time we will attack his rear, strive to knock out their artillery positions, and give Liu Hai their best support!" On the other hand, it is also to cooperate with the battle of Changsha this time! ”

"Captain! This batch of national troops is also capable of fighting, a division has been fighting for four days, and it has not taken half a step back! Said a squadron leader of Xie Ming's detachment. You don't know, the commander of the artillery brigade of the national army on the opposite side is a classmate of our detachment leader, and he came back from Germany, and he has a very good set, and the little devils are afraid of him! The captain said, "You all listen, our task this time is very heavy, we only have less than two hundred people, but to kill the devil's field arsenal, it is not difficult, but it is not impossible to overcome, my idea is to pretend to be a puppet army to sneak in, I heard that the puppet army of Miziya is responsible for delivering food to the Japanese soldiers guarding the arsenal, so we will use their name to sneak in!" "It's so much easier, no problem!" At night, the scouts of the New Fourth Army disguised themselves as puppet soldiers and took the opportunity of delivering food to rush into the Japanese battlefield arsenal, and after killing the sentry posts, more than 200 New Fourth Army rushed in, wiped out all the Japanese troops in a small group, and then vigorously blew up the Japanese battlefield arsenal, and the other team of the New Fourth Army blew up several important bridges and railways on the Japanese supply line. When the news reached Watanabe Kutaro's ears, Watanabe Kutaro was furious and hurriedly sent a wing of troops to clear the rear!

"Report! The strength of a wing of the Japanese army has been carried out to the area of Yonazi Cliff! A large group of local troops from the county brigade and district squad will be harassed and delayed! "New Fourth Army scouts report." That's great! Tell the troops to prepare for the offensive and cover with all the firepower! Remember, the target is the artillery position of the devils, the time cannot exceed an hour, leave after the fight, no materials can be captured and prisoners must be captured, and the battle will be solved quickly! It's set for 11 p.m. tomorrow night! Xie Ming said. Got it! All the captains immediately returned to their own troops, Xie Ming gave an order, more than 1,000 New Fourth Army attacked from behind the Japanese army, the limited artillery fire of the New Fourth Army played a great role, the Japanese army thought that it was their rear that emerged from the national army, and they were dizzy for a while, I don't know what was going on, and suddenly there was a big chaos in the rear, Xie Ming had allocated various forces before the attack, although it was not much, but the distribution was very reasonable. Xie Ming personally rushed to the Japanese artillery position with a commando team of fifty people! On the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillerymen were sleeping, no matter what, they never thought that someone would kill the position, Xie Ming led the assault team to slash and kill, blew up nine Japanese artillery, killed and wounded a number of Japanese soldiers, and then quickly withdrew according to the plan!

"Bastard! It's all waste! Unexpectedly, a group of New Fourth Army troops were killed at the artillery position! You are all a disgrace to the Imperial Army! Watanabe looked at the messy Japanese artillery positions and cursed angrily. Brigade commander, the command has called again! A staff officer came over with a telegram and said. Mobilize one or two wings, strengthen the defense of the rear, and never let any more accidents happen in the rear! Watanabe turned back to look at the position of the national army and said, "Those Shina people have suffered greater losses than us, as long as we attack once or twice, we will definitely be able to break through the opponent's position!" Ladies and gentlemen! For the sake of the Imperial Empire of Japan, for His Majesty the Emperor! Fight! "Hayi!" The various wing captains under Watanabe responded in unison. "Brigade commander, we have two brigades, a total of seven wings, after a few days of fighting, two wings were disabled, and after reorganization, they became one wing, and now the rear defense has transferred two wings, and now there are only four wings that can be used for attack, and more than half of our artillery has also been blown up, if you force an attack, you need to think of a way!" The staff officer said. "I want the West!" Watanabe is not a fool, he knows that the current strength is insufficient, but the order from above is death, if there is a problem with the flank of the main division, then he will be in trouble!

"So be it! We can change the defensive formation, two machine gun companies forward to the Japanese attack flanks, and then when the Japanese attack, you can form an encirclement cross fire with the frontal position, your artillery at this time, block the devil's retreat with artillery fire, let's have a defensive annihilation battle! The division commander said. Good idea! That's it, my cannon will be fully supported! Liu Hai looked at the terrain on the map and found that the division commander's method was very good, at least in the absence of a counterattack, the Japanese army would never consider that in this case, the national army would have the idea of counterattacking! The two national army battalions came out of the positions on both flanks and lay in ambush on both sides of the attack area, waiting for the Japanese to attack! Watanabe also changed his tactics this time, allowing a wing of the Japanese army to start from the right flank, making a roundabout illusion to attract the defenders to divide their troops, and then concentrate on a frontal assault to break through the defenders' defenses. Soon, the Japanese army's detour troops were discovered, and the division commander decided to respond to all changes with no change after consideration, and the original plan remained unchanged, but for the sake of insurance, the division commander decided to send a training battalion to the flank to carry out defensive operations, and advanced to a village called Renjiayu in the flank and rear of the national army's position for deployment. After the intensive arrangements of the two sides, they each released their own tricks. The Japanese frontal attacking wing was overwhelmed by the flank fire of the Nationalist ambush, and after losing its troops, it retreated.

"Detachment leader, the Japanese army has sent a roundabout unit to the flank of the national army, and now it has reached Renjiayu!" The investigators reported the latest situation. "Opportunity, now is the time to carry forward the spirit of continuous combat of our army, attack again, and attack the Japanese army in Renjiayu from behind!" Xie Ming said excitedly. More than 900 New Fourth Army troops attacked again, and under the leadership of Xie Ming, they attacked in the direction of Renjiayu. At this time, the Japanese detour troops had already been blocked by the training battalion, but the Japanese firepower was very strong, and after the training battalion fought for an hour, more than half of the casualties were lost. "Grenadier attack!" Xie Ming suddenly ordered, and more than a dozen grenadiers of the New Fourth Army began to attack, and after a frenzy of flicks*, nine hundred New Fourth Army troops began to charge! "Eight Tooth Road!" The captain of the Japanese army scolded that last time it was the New Fourth Army that made trouble, but this time it was the heroic spirit that followed, and the position of the national army, which was about to break through, was stirred up! "Order the four teams to start a counterattack!" The commander of the Japanese wing shouted. Hundreds of Japanese troops began to counterattack, Xie Ming watched the reinforcements of the Japanese army rush over and ordered a retreat! After the retreat of several hundred New Fourth Army, the Japanese army once again turned around and began to attack the Nationalist army, but Xie Ming's New Fourth Army ran back again. "These damn New Fourth Army, what the hell are they going to do?" The Japanese wing commander was tireless, but he had no choice but to divide his troops to resist! In this way, the Japanese fought with the training camp of the National Army and the New Fourth Army in Renjiayu, and fought for a whole day, but the Japanese army was exhausted and finally exhausted and half dead and got nothing, and the entire roundabout wing suffered one-third casualties, and had to withdraw after running out of ammunition!

On the sixth day of the battle, the situation on the battlefield changed, and the progress of the main southward division of the Japanese army was relatively smooth at first, but it was soon stubbornly resisted, and Li Zongren learned that the two flanks of the Japanese army did not provide sufficient cover, so he ordered the two army groups to begin to detour to the flank and rear of the Japanese army. The officers and men of the two group armies did not care about the fatigue of the battle, and began to carry ammunition and wade through mountains and rivers to carry out a roundabout encirclement. At this time, a Japanese army suddenly turned to the northeast, and Leng Buding entered Changsha, Changsha was indeed out of troops at this time, and the commander of the 17th Army of the Changsha garrison asked for help, asking for troops to be transferred back from the front line to rescue Changsha, but Li Zongren understood that the Japanese army was to give Changsha to him, and he could not occupy it, if he did not kill or drive away the Japanese divisions in front of him, then Changsha would be really dangerous, so Li Zongren refused to return to Changsha, and asked the 17th Army to hold on to the last person anyway. However, the strength of Changsha was too thin, and the Japanese army that attacked Changsha had as many as one brigade, and the 17th Army had less than one and a half divisions, and it was defeated and withdrew from Changsha in less than a day!

The loss of Changsha did not make Li Zongren shake his determination, but strengthened his determination to destroy this Japanese division and group, and when the roundabout group army of the national army reached the north of the Xinqiang River, Li Zongren contacted all the troops and ordered a counterattack on the whole front, a total of five group armies, more than 200,000 troops of the national army began to counterattack. The Nationalist guerrillas and the New Fourth Army on the outer line blew up all the bridges and roads between the Xinqiang River and the Laodao River, and strategically speaking, the four divisions of the Japanese army had been surrounded by the Nationalist army in the area between the Xinqiang River and the Laodao River. The situation took a turn for the worse, so that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Anami, was very anxious, and ordered all the air forces to support it, and all the Japanese troops began to retreat. Kutaro Watanabe, who received the order to retreat, looked at the only national army division on the opposite side unwillingly, and viciously ordered a retreat! At this time, the division commander and Liu Hai also received the order to counterattack, so they ordered to turn defense into offense, and cooperated with the more than 200,000 national troops in the Second Battle of Changsha to start a counterattack on all fronts!
