Although there were still soldiers on the Japanese position, but under the suppression of several machine guns, they could no longer stop the Chinese soldiers who were pouring up like a tide, and the charging soldiers rushed forward with shouts of killing at this time, and from time to time there were still comrades falling on the way to the charge, but the Japanese bullets could no longer stop the soldiers from charging. In only two minutes, the soldiers rushed to the Japanese position, and the Japanese tried to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers who rushed up, but they were all killed on the position by the guns in the hands of the soldiers.

As soon as the Japanese position was occupied, the regiment commander Li Chunshan ordered the commander of the first battalion, Feng Lisan, to lead the first battalion to take the position at the head of the pass wall. Feng Lisan shouted, "Follow me from the first battalion!" and turned around and rushed up the stairs to the city. There were some remnants of Japanese troops on the wall, and they set up a light machine gun to block the stairs to the city. Within a few machine gun shots, the shooter was killed by the sharpshooters of the 1st battalion, and under the submachine gun fire of the 1st battalion fighters, the Japanese troops blocking the stairs fell one after another.

The soldiers of a battalion that rushed to the city wall soon occupied the entire city wall, and the 569th Regiment outside the pass also rushed into the pass under the leadership of the regiment commander Wei Yongshou. The area inside the pass is not large, it is equivalent to a small town, but there are no Chinese people here, all Japanese soldiers.

The remaining soldiers of the Japanese army, under the command of the officer, fought street battles with the soldiers of the 277th Brigade with the help of the buildings in the pass. However, both in terms of weapons and equipment and numbers, the soldiers of the two regiments were completely superior to the Japanese army. The battle lasted two hours, and the gunfire in the pass stopped. After escaping from the pass from the south, the captain led more than 100 people to meet the 570th Regiment that had set up an ambush in the south, and the captain and the Japanese soldiers who escaped were all killed.

The time when the 277th Brigade launched its attack on the Ulling Pass was also the time when the 90th Division besieged the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese Army. At the same time, the 278th Brigade and the 210th Division of the 93rd Division respectively attacked the Japanese troops on the outskirts of Shaoguan. At dawn, the Japanese garrison outside Shaoguan City was owned by the 90th Army, and some of the Japanese troops were annihilated, and some fled back to Shaoguan City. Lieutenant General Watarahisao, commander of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, had been receiving constant telegrams from the garrison outside Shaoguan since midnight, and the telegrams all said without exception that they had been attacked by the main force of the Chinese army and that it was difficult to hold on.

These telegrams made Lieutenant General Hisao fidget, especially when it came from the 22nd Brigade, which was under attack by a large number of elite troops from China. Lieutenant General Watarahisao couldn't figure out how many troops were around him to make such a big move. The chief of staff of the division, Katamura Shihachi Daisa, also came to the headquarters, and after hearing the report of his subordinates, he also came to consult with the division commander, Lieutenant General Watahisao, to discuss the matter.

As soon as Watamura Shibashi saw Katamura Shibasa, he asked: "Katamura-kun, how can you say that there are so many Zhina troops to attack our 11th Division? Could it be that all the Chinese troops are concentrated around my division?" Katamura 48 Dasa replied: "Your Excellency, from the perspective of your subordinates, the Chinese army that launched such an attack on our 11th Division can never be just a local unit of the Cantonese Army, and with the combat effectiveness of our division, one brigade is enough to block the attack of a division or even an army of the local troops of China. From this point of view, it is only possible that the elite troops of the Central Army of China will attack our division. ”

Watara Kuo gritted his teeth and said, "Baga! How could such a large number of elites of the Central Army of China suddenly gather around my division? Didn't they just retreat from Wuhan into the mountains to the west? How could they suddenly come here, did they fly over? The intelligence department didn't know anything about the movement of so many Chinese troops, and they were all idiots?"

Katamura 48 Sasaku saw Wataru Hisao annoyed, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency Division Commander, please don't be angry, our 11th Division is not so easy to lose to the Shina army. Please ask His Excellency the division commander to order the troops to concentrate on Shaoguan, and with the fortified city of Shaoguan, there is no need to worry about the number of troops coming from China. When the military reinforcements take Yingde County, they will arrive here immediately, and if these Zhina troops do not retreat at that time, we will work with the reinforcements to destroy these Zhina troops. ”

Lieutenant General Watahisao listened to Katamura's words, suppressed his anger and said: "Yo Xi, I immediately order all troops to concentrate on Shaoguan City, and Katamura-kun asks you to contact the military department and ask the military department to immediately send reinforcements, and I will wipe out all these troops under Shaoguan City." After finishing speaking, he called his lieutenant and issued an order to the troops around Shaoguan City to concentrate on Shaoguan City.

These Japanese troops around Shaoguan City were about to be unable to withstand the attack of the 90th Army, but now they had the order to retreat, so they immediately packed up and withdrew to Shaoguan City. When it was almost dawn, the commander of the 22nd Brigade, Major General Kuroiwa Yoshio, sent a final farewell telegram, which made Lieutenant General Hisao jump in shock.

What a terrible unit the Shina army that can make the entire 22nd Brigade shattered in such a short period of time, in Watanabe's cognition, except for an elite unit known as the First Army, which has made every division of the Imperial Army jade broken many times, no unit can eat a brigade of the Imperial Army at once. Could it be that the First Army of this branch has arrived here?

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Wataru Jiuxiong once again ordered the troops on the periphery of Shaoguan to quickly withdraw to Shaoguan City. After dawn, in addition to the troops that were wiped out, Shaoguan City concentrated nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers in the 11th Division, with the 10th Brigade as the main force, but it included 4,000 engineers and baggage soldiers.

The Japanese army withdrew from the towns around Shaoguan and concentrated in the city of Shaoguan, which played into Tang Renxin's hands. Tang Renxin immediately ordered the 201th Division and the 278th Brigade of the 93rd Division to attack and advance to Shaoguan City, attack under Shaoguan City as soon as possible, and besiege the rest of the Japanese 11th Division in Shaoguan City. Even the 277th Brigade only left the 568th Regiment stationed at the pass of Weiling, and the other two regiments and the troops directly under the brigade rushed over in the direction of Shaoguan again.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the 20th Division and the 278th Brigade of the 93rd Division arrived at Shaoguan and began to build fortifications. The heavy artillery brigade also set up artillery positions in suitable positions. After Tang Renxin received the news that all the troops were in place and tightly besieged Shaoguan, he decided to launch an attack on Shaoguan City at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Soon after the troops of the 90th Army surrounded Shaoguan City, Yu Hanmou and his 63rd Army and 64th Army also came to the vicinity of Shaoguan. The series of victories of the 90th Army surprised General Yu Hanmou, and Yu Hanmou, who had doubts about the ability of the 90th Army, was only able to admire the combat effectiveness of the 90th Army at this time. When General Yu Hanmou came to Tang Renxin's headquarters and saw with his own eyes the heavy artillery of the heavy artillery brigade and the tanks of the armored brigade, he once again sighed at the 90th Army's equipment so powerful.

When he saw Tang Renxin, Yu Hanmou's tone put himself in the same position as Tang Renxin, which made Tang Renxin a little at a loss. In the end, the command of the Shaoguan attack was handed over to Tang Renxin, who reciprocated the favor by arranging the 63rd Army in the relatively safe direction of the north gate of Shaoguan, and did not require them to attack the city, but only asked them to guard the road to the north of Shaoguan to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through from the north. For this reason, Tang Renxin also transferred the newly captured Japanese light and heavy machine guns and artillery to a part of the 63 rd Army.

Yu Hanmou knew very well that this was the 90th Army giving credit to himself, and the Cantonese Army needed these credits too much, so that he could redeem some of the influence of losing Guangzhou from Lao Jiang in Chongqing, so Yu Hanmou happily accepted this favor. As for the 64th Army, it was also arranged to the north of the city and used as a reserve.

As soon as the morning dawned, Lieutenant General Watanahisao and Katamura Shihachi Daisa hurriedly climbed the wall of Shaoguan to observe the Chinese troops outside the city. Lieutenant General Watanahisao had just taken over as division commander of the 11th Division, and Katamura Shibachi Daisa, who had served as chief of staff of the 11th Division since the Battle of Songhu, when he saw the words "90th Army of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China" on the military flag fluttering in the city, his face could not help but change color.

From the beginning of the Songhu battlefield, the first time Katamura 48 Daizo fought with the Chinese army, the 90th Division became a nightmarish existence, facing this army, he would have a sense of powerlessness that could never defeat it. I didn't expect to meet this unit here again today. And after Wataru observed the army outside the city through a telescope for a while, he was also secretly surprised.

The Chinese army outside the city is arranging offensive positions, and from the perspective of weapons and equipment, they are equipped with various machine guns that are more than the number of their own troops, and most of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are unprecedented before. Looking at these soldiers again, judging from their tactical movements, the individual quality of most of their soldiers is by no means inferior to their own soldiers.

Turning his head, Lieutenant General Watari Hisao said to Katamura Shihachi Daisa: "Katamura-kun, these Shina troops are the elite troops of the Shina Central Army, right? Sure enough, they are not bad, it looks like they can fight with our Imperial Japanese Army." Katamura Shibasaku said a little nervously: "Your Excellency the division commander, the army outside the city is the 90th Army, which is known as the First Army of China, and the army led by Wang Haitao. ”

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, even if Watara Hisao led the 11th Division to set foot on the land of China for the first time, but when he was in Japan, Wang Haitao's name had already heard the sermon in many places. Wataku Hisao said in surprise: "Nani, the army in the city is Wang Haitao's first army?" Katamura-kun, are you not mistaken?" Katamura 48 Dazuo smiled bitterly, pointed to the fluttering military flag and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, with this military flag, I will not be mistaken, it seems that our 11th division is targeted by this Wang Haitao this time." ”
