Section 5 Counterattack (1)

After receiving the telegram that night, Fu Zuoyi immediately ordered the 35th Army, the 61st Army, the 41st Army, and Feng Zhanhai to launch a new 109th Army to attack at the same time on the front line that lasted more than 200 miles from Shitouchengzi to Dushikou and then to Anbao, Baihebao Town.

The troops that were ready to go were immediately like wild horses. Zhang Chengyi's troops of the 419th Regiment of the 35th Army attacked Mentou Mountain at night. They touched the mountain in secret. The result of the long-term failure of the Zhongxun team on the opposite side was that more than 300 puppet troops and the Japanese were very careless. It was not until the Chinese soldiers' grenades were thrown into the bunker that they found that the Zhongxun team had rushed to the top of the mountain. The cruel battle was unfolding everywhere on the top of the mountain. The Chinese soldiers twisted their swords and killed the Japanese army all over the mountain. The flames of the explosion cut through the night. After more than ten minutes, the puppet troops could not hold it back. His door either retreated to the mountain in chaos or simply fell to the ground to pretend to be dead. The remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers relied on a bunker to fight to the death. Zhang Chengyi personally commanded the troops to attack the bunker. The other part, led by the deputy regiment commander, went around from the mountainside to the enemy's back, cut off the Japanese retreat route, and blocked the Japanese reinforcements.

The two armies threw grenades in the narrow area on the top of the mountain, and the explosions were connected. The casualties of both sides were heavy. The Japanese army outside the bunker were quickly eliminated. The remaining ten Japanese troops were all retracted near the bunker, and the Chinese soldiers standing upright and attacking were all in the fierce machine gun fire.\\

Seeing this, Zhang Chengyi immediately changed his tactics and strengthened frontal fire to attract the Japanese army. The main force attacked along the trenches. The Jin-chanhua machine gun showed its powerful power in this melee battle. The Type 38 rifle fired and pulled the bolts and exposed the weaknesses of the Type 38 rifle, and often after one shot. The Chinese team's machine guns rushed over. They rushed to the outside of the bunker gate several times, kicked open the fort gate, and a shuttle of bullets shot out from inside. The Chinese soldiers fell to the ground without a sound. The Chinese soldiers immediately replaced several grenades. After the smoke of gunpowder, the top of the mountain became quiet.

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and more than 100 Japanese troops on the top of the mountain were wiped out. More than 300 puppet troops wiped out half, and the remaining half fled and half surrendered.

The gunshots on the top of the mountain stopped, but the gunshots on the mountainside became more and more fierce. The Japanese troops on the second line reacted very quickly. In just a few dozen minutes, they organized a counterattack. The fleeing puppet troops were quickly executed, and a large group of Japanese soldiers roared in the dark and attacked upwards in the rain of bullets.

Deputy Commander Xu Jiandi's Third Battalion of the 419th Regiment could not stop the enemy's attack on the mountainside, and began to gradually retreat to the top of the mountain to meet with Zhang Chengyi. ***** The Japanese army followed him, and a more violent rain of bullets was poured on the mountain. The Japanese squadron leader Hashimoto Lianshan, who was commanding the counterattack, felt something was wrong and immediately ordered a retreat.

It was too late, and amid the short scream, a violent explosion sounded in the crowd. Hashimoto Lianshan flew into the air at that time. With the light of the explosion, Hashimoto Lianshan saw his soldiers rushing around the mountainside wolf, looking for places to hide. After the shelling, a team of Chinese soldiers turned around from the foot of the mountain, quickly broke through the blockade of the flank team, and then rushed from bottom to top. At the same time, Zhang on the top of the mountain

Cheng Yi led the 419th Regiment to leapt out of the trench and rushed down the mountain. Two attacks, and the hand-to-hand combat soon unfolded in every corner from the hillside to the foot of the mountain. In the darkness, only dull screams were heard everywhere, the collision of swords and guns, and occasionally an explosion. When a trace of paleness was spit out from the sky, the battle in Mentou Mountain stopped. The tired Chinese soldiers cleaned the battlefield all over the mountains, searched for their living companions, and bandaged the bleeding wounds.

Zhang Chengyi and Bo Xin, the leader of the 420 regiment, stood on the mountainside, with dust stains on the military uniforms. The mixed blood stains condensed into pieces of filth. Zhang Chengyi's face was splashed, and his arms were covered with blood. He simply wiped his hands on his body. He said to Bo Xin happily: "The boss is really a clever plan. Even the Japanese Monkey King can't turn out the palm of his old man's hand.^^^^"

Before Bo Xin could answer, the sound of cannons sounded on the opposite hill. Bo Xin turned around and looked at the top of the hill. He smiled and said, "Old Dong is probably going to blame him. The meat was eaten by us, so he could only drink the soup."

Zhang Chengyi laughed loudly. The old Dong that Bo Xin mentioned was Dong Qiwu, the leader of the 436th Regiment of the 218th Brigade. Fu Zuoyi arranged two brigades in this direction: the 210 Brigade and the 218th Brigade.

This direction was the focus of the Japanese army's defense. Fu Zuoyi asked his direct 35th Army to be responsible for attacking from here, and let Li Fuying, the 61st Army, assault from the direction of Sandaochuan.

The horse's hooves rumbled into the grassland and tranquilly. The two teams of cavalry collided fiercely. The yellow military uniform and the variegated costumes fought desperately on the horse, with swords shining and flesh flying everywhere; the war horses were screaming in a sarcasm. "Kill!" Gong Changhai opened his eyes wide open, swung his sword down, and then rushed towards the next Japanese. The steel swords intertwined, Gong Changhai collapsed the enemy's sabre with one arm. After the forum, he took advantage of the opportunity of the two horses intertwined and turned around. The Japanese stumbled, and the ghost-headed sword swept over his back with the sound of wind. Gong Changhai groaned and rushed towards the next opponent.*****

Feng Zhanhai's troops' mission was to insert from near Laozhanggou, then detour through Guerhai, and penetrate east of Fengning through Erdaowoupu. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at Guerhai, they encountered a team of Japanese cavalry. He attacked without saying a word. The Japanese commander on the opposite side was even more afraid that they would run away, and they came over without even placing their formation.

As soon as he looked up, there was no one in front of him. Gong Changhai realized that he had killed the Japanese army. Then he roared and returned to the battle group with a roar. The soldiers around him rushed back with him.

What Miya Nagahai met was the guerrillas of the 1st Japanese cavalry brigade. The front line of the Great Wall was mountainous, which was not conducive to cavalry combat. Therefore, the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the 8th Division and the Mogi Cavalry Brigade of the 6th Division were not used. It was not until Okamura Yasujiro that they had the opportunity to guerrilla westward. The brigade commander Onitsuka Minjiro sent three ** squadrons to patrol between Sidaohezi and Dage Town. He led his main force to be stationed in Hongdong Temple west of Fengning. He believed that if the China ** team counterattacked, then Fengning would definitely be the target of the attack. However, although he made this judgment, in his heart, he did not recognize the China ** team's counterattack. The deputy chief of staff made a big fuss. So he neither built fortifications on the commanding heights of Fengning City, nor strengthened the Fengning City defense.

When he saw the soldiers who fled back, he suddenly realized that he was wrong. He did not punish the soldiers who fled back, nor did he go back to take revenge immediately. Instead, he ordered the troops to move to the north of Fengning City and left the artillery and machine gun squadron in Fengning City to strengthen defense.

The attack of the Zhong** team rushed out of Chadong was fierce, and Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army, commanded by Fu Zuoyi, conquered Mentou Mountain, led the Zicheng, conquered Laoxiying, and set off the 61st Army of Li Fuying to conquer Madiangou and Toudao Wotang; Sun Dianying attacked from the mountainous areas in the southern part of Guyuan, conquered Datan, mountain caves, and small bazi without any major battles, and rushed from the north towards Fengning. After Feng Zhanhai's troops wiped out the two squadrons of Japanese cavalry, they began to advance to the northeast of Fengning.

The puppet troops under Yu Zhishan had no determination to resist in the face of the fierce offensive of the Zhongxun Team. When they saw the flag of the Zhongxun Team, they began to prepare to escape. More than 3,000 Xiaodian United team transferred to the Western Front fought hard in more than a dozen passes. The team leader Xiaodian Kita proposed emergency tactical guidance to the division headquarters for the first time.

The huge changes in the western part of Rehe were spread to the 8th Division command center. The scale and intensity of the counterattack of the Chinese team far exceeded the predictions of Okamura Yasuji and Nishiyi. In particular, the determination shown by the Chinese soldiers surprised the officers of the 8th Division. They rushed to the Japanese positions without hesitation. The battle situation report was filled with words such as bloody battles and hard fighting, and also accompanied by Yusha.

"Arrogant, too arrogant! They didn't take the imperial army seriously and had to be punished!" After being nervous, the Western Yiyi was a little disobedient: "Their tactics were irrational." He pointed to the map and said: "In our rear, they sent bandits to attack without rear, without logistical support, and no successor support. This was obviously a death sentence, but they fought like this. Looking at Fu Zuoyi's counterattack, it was also a blind attack without any reason."

Okamura Yasuji did not answer. He buried his body on the map and carefully pondered the combat intentions of the Zhongzhang Team.

Chief of Staff Kuna and Operations Chief Takeyama Uchio stood up to express their support. Kuna proposed to draw the Kawahara Brigade from the front to the west to the Punishment Team.

"Wait, everyone," Okamura Yiji raised his head and shouted. Nishiyi, who was about to order, stopped and looked at him. Okamura's timely awareness of the counterattack of the Central ** team, and drew a team to Rexi in advance, stabilizing the situation in Rexi to a certain extent, without collapse suddenly. This made him win the trust of Nishiyi and others. Okamura looked at Nishiyi and said, "General, have you not felt the changes in the Central ** team?"

"Okamura, what changes have happened to the Zhong** team?" Takeyama Uchio asked.

"You guys, when the Great Wall battle began, we used two brigades to attack the Great Wall. The Chinese teams fought on their own, so we could concentrate our troops in each direction and strike them one by one, but now, they have begun to act in a unified manner." Okamura said: "As it happens, we will draw troops from the front, and they will counterattack at the Nantianmen."

"General Suzuki can defend the Kobeikou." Takeyama Uchio said firmly.

Okamura participated in the 128th Shanghai War. He knew the combat effectiveness of the Chinese German-Armed Division. He did not believe that Suzuki Mitsuto could defend the Kubeikou, but he could not say that otherwise he would be considered cowardly. The Japanese army's arrogance in this regard was incredible.

"Your Excellency, my suggestion is to give up the area of ​​Zizishan, concentrate troops to defend Fengning, and at the same time draw the 33rd Brigade to advance westward."

As soon as Okamura's words fell, the officers of the 8th Division were immediately angry, even Nishiyi's eyes were filled with anger.
