Nankou, located at the intersection of Yanshan Yumai and Taihang Mountain at 45 kilometers northwest of Beiping City, is the Great Wall pass on the south side of Juyong Pass, and is the gateway of Beiping to the northwest. The terrain in this area is complex, with steep mountains and overlapping passes. The Nankou and the key passes of the Great Wall along it are the natural barrier to block the Yue army, and our army has arranged heavy troops to defend here. On August 7, 1937, the 5th Division of the Yue Army and the 11th Brigade of the Reading Force launched an attack on Nankou and the key passes along the Great Wall, and the Battle of Nankou began.

On August 11, the army launched a formal attack on the Nankou area. Its main force stormed Nankou Town, and another brigade (Sakata Detachment) assisted on the Great Wall Line in the area west of Nankou Town, and made a feint at Victorious Pass with one brigade. The infantry of the Japanese army, supported by aircraft, artillery, and tanks, stormed the positions of our defenders.

Under the command of Tang Enbo, our defenders stubbornly resisted by virtue of the favorable terrain and inflicted great casualties on the Japanese army. Between the mountains and mountains, the devil soldiers in-yellow uniforms, like ants, kept rushing towards our defenders' positions! The fierce gunfire and the earth-shattering shouts of killing shook the entire North China Plain! The soldiers on both sides who have already killed the red-eyed are often for a small hill and a trench, and the killing is inseparable, the blood is flowing like a river, and the corpses are all over the field!

Just when the blood of Nankou was flowing like a river, the battle in Guyuan County, Chadong, also entered a white-hot situation. Hideki Tojo personally commanded the 1st Brigade of the Reading Mixed Brigade, and with the cooperation of more than 10,000 puppet troops, the 1st Infantry Brigade of Li Long's Department guarded Guyuan City, and the brigade commander Chen Zhenpeng.

As early as the day before, that is, on August 10, Tojo Hideki ordered the troops to launch an attack on Guyuan, but Tojo's senior soldiers were very insidious, and for a whole day, Tojo Hideki only sent puppet army troops to continuously attack our defenders' positions, first, to use these cannon fodder troops to consume the strength of our defenders, and second, to find out the reality of our army. However, its main force has always honestly hid behind to recuperate.

It was not until the 11th that the Japanese army joined the battle, and Hideki Tojo first ordered the artillery units to also open fire with all their strength and shell the positions of our defenders. Chen Zhenpeng immediately fought-for-tat and ordered his artillery battalion to return fire and suppress the artillery fire of the Japanese army. But then more than 20 planes rushed to the battlefield. Chen Zhenpeng hurriedly called to ask for air support! Li Long's headquarters is equipped with a flying group with twenty-four fighters and twelve light bombers! But by the time our air force arrived, it was already too late, and the artillery positions were almost completely lost under the bombardment of the planes! Chen Zhenpeng thumped his chest angrily, he knew that this was the case, he should have asked the Air Force for help earlier!

But what happened next almost made Hideie Tojo vomit blood angrily. When the 12 fighters of our flight group arrived, the military planes had not yet retreated, and an air battle inevitably broke out! The fierce air battle lasted only half an hour before it ended, and ten fighters and four bombers were shot down! And our army paid only the price of one seriously wounded! The rest fled back to Rehe in a hurry!

The information that the Chadong Reading Division had a flying group, and Hideki Tojo knew about it, but he didn't know the specific number and strength of the fighters of this flying group. But Hideki Tojo, who has always looked down on the Chinese, naturally will not take such a flight team in his eyes. But I didn't expect that today, this flying group gave itself a resounding slap in the face. The 12 fighters of the Army Aviation were completely defeated in the face of the 12 fighters of the Chinese Army, and 14 of them were shot down at one time with the addition of bombers. This made Hideki Tojo furious, "Yaga Ya Road! What are those idiots of Lu Hang doing to eat! I can't even deal with the stupid China pig! The face of the Imperial Army of this empire has been lost to them! "The entire headquarters infighting could hear the roar of Hideki Tojo.

"Your Excellency, Commander! According to humble observations, the failure of this air battle cannot be entirely attributed to the incompetence of the army aviation. Although only twelve fighters were dispatched this time, they were all the most advanced metal monoplane fighters in the world today, which were much superior to the planes dispatched by the Imperial Army! A command staff officer said boldly.

Hideki Tojo couldn't help frowning, "Even so, the warriors of the Imperial Army with the spirit of bushido shouldn't lose so badly!" The matter was immediately reported and the Special High School was asked to immediately find out the source of the fighter planes in China. Inform those idiots of the Army Airlines that next time they will send the Empire's best fighters to escort them! ”

"Hayi!"

Hideki Tojo continued, "Order! The first brigade immediately attacked, and the fourth brigade of chariots dispatched chariots to cooperate with the attack! ”

"Hayi!"

On the forward position of the First Brigade, Chen Zhenpeng, who was observing the enemy situation with a telescope, saw that six tanks suddenly staggered out of the position of the Yue Army on the opposite side, followed by a yellow flow of people, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, "A few Douding tanks dare to run in front of Lao Tzu to show off their might, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" Push out all the anti-war guns to Lao Tzu and beat him up as a bitch! ”

"Report! Teacher's phone! The communications staff officer ran over and reported loudly.

Chen Zhenpeng didn't say a word, strode towards the headquarters, and as soon as he entered the door, Chen Zhenpeng took off his helmet and threw it on the table, and picked up the phone, "Master!" I'm Chen Zhenpeng! Please rest assured, with me Chen Zhenpeng here, the little devil doesn't want to step into Guyuan City for half a step! ”

"What?" Chen Zhenpeng couldn't help but roar, and after a long time, Chen Zhenpeng hung his head and said, "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ”

At this time, Wang Bozhang, the chief of staff of the brigade, leaned over and asked softly, "Brigade seat!" Is there any new instruction for the teacher? ”

Chen Zhenpeng scratched his head, and his dandruff drifted to the ground like snow, "Shizuo ordered us to give up Guyuan, and then secretly rush to Duolun to join forces at Shizuo!" ”

Wang Bozhang thought for a while and said, "Shizuo wants to gather superior forces and defeat the 15th Brigade of Reading Power that is attacking Duolun first!" ”

Chen Zhenpeng nodded and said, "Shizuo said that it is better to cut off one of the ten fingers of the enemy than to hurt them!" Damn, when did the teacher become like an old pedant, and learned to drag words! ”

Wang Bozhang smiled dumbly, "But what the master said makes sense, the little devils are attacking with troops, and we are dividing our troops to resist, and there is already a risk of being broken by the little devils!" It is the best policy to concentrate superior forces in this way and break the enemy all the way first! It's still prescient! Evacuated us in advance. At the beginning of the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Jin Zhao ordered Chadong to read the teacher and organize the evacuation of the masses to move to Suiyuan, it seems that at that time Jin Zhao realized that Chadong was about to die! It was precisely because of Jin Zhao's order that before the outbreak of the war, the residents and some factories in Duolun, Guyuan and other places had already moved to the territory of Suiyuan.

Chen Zhenpeng nodded and said, "Inform the troops, withdraw from the battle tonight, and the whole brigade will move west!" (To be continued.) )
