In mid-May, the fierce battle further went to **. Sima Tai, the 87th Division broke through the front and rotated to the left, directly into the rear of the left wing of the Japanese army at Gubeikou. The Zuocun Relying on Longeryu, the Zuocun United desperately extended the defense line northward to fight against the wide frontal attack of the team at **; the commander of the 87th Division on the other side, Song Xilian, came to the front line in person, and the Chinese soldiers braved the bombing of Japanese planes to fight against the bloody battlefield, resolutely attacked the Bakesh Camp and Qingshiling behind Gubeikou. The Japanese army was seriously insufficient in strength and the defense line was shaking.

On the front of Gubeikou, Xu Tingyao personally visited the 83rd Division to supervise the battle, attacked the Gubeikou South Pass, and attacked the right-wing Longwangyukou with the remaining troops of the Second Division and the 25th Division. The sound of cannons in the entire Gubeikou shocked the sky, and the soldiers of the two countries fought hard on this ancient battlefield.

Outside Fengning City, Fu Zuoyi commanded the 35th Army to abandon Houer Mountain and retreat to Xiadianzi in the southwest. He and Li Fuying's class front in the Toudao Wotang to stubbornly fight the attack of the Eighth Division. Fu Zuoyi's ability to defend was fully demonstrated in this battle. Xiyi was furious and supervised the battle again and again, but the Jin army fought to the death with the support of the 29th Army of Tonglingge and refused to retreat. The position was repeatedly tug-of-war, and blood flowed into a river.

Further north, Sun Dianying's rampant attack gradually stopped as the Japanese reinforcements arrived. The two sides formed a confrontation in Tucheng Town north of Fengning. However, at this time, Sun Dianying's troops, who occupied the enclosure, headed south to Longhua under the guidance of Liu Guitang. The Longhua defenders were only more than a thousand people from Li Shouxin and a Japanese squad. The Sun and Liu coalition forces cooperated with the guerrilla sweepers near Longhua to conquer Longhua in one fell swoop. Then the troops urgently had to go south and attack Luanping. This immediately threatened the rear of the Japanese army in Gubeikou.

In the east, Feng Zhanhai's troops bypassed Fengning and turned south near Zhujiawozhuang. They crossed the Dongchao River near Sandao River and approached Heishanzui without a big battle. Feng Zhanhai's southward actually cut off the connection between Xiyi and Gubeikou through the north. Now the connection between Xiyi and Gubeikou is only the southern line, and the passage through Yunwu Mountain. The situation in Rexi suddenly changed drastically. "Attack everywhere, weak everywhere." Jiu Na felt bad, and the Zhong** team

The combat power was not strong. Sun Dianying's troops used only one regiment to block his nearly 20,000 attacks. However, the number of people in the ** team was large, and they took such a wide frontal attack. Forced the Eighth Division to disperse the troops everywhere. The originally powerful attack power was dispersed and disintegrated, and a stalemate was formed everywhere. Jiuna felt that a net was gradually shrinking. Fortunately, Sacun fought well in Gubeikou, otherwise the Eighth Division would have been surrounded.

"Commander, please ask the headquarters for tactical guidance." Kuna made a suggestion helplessly to Nishiyi. Nishiyi had a gloomy face, and his heart was full of anger. The Eighth Division seemed invincible under his command, and had not fought any major defeat, but now it was completely passive and even at the risk of being surrounded. The Chinese were so hateful that they always did not concentrate their troops to fight head-on with the Imperial Army, always sneaked over from the weak parts of the Imperial Army, and always had the idea of ​​fighting the Imperial Army's transportation channel; the seven hundred shells that were sent last time were almost exhausted, and there was no support from the artillery fire. The attack momentum of the Suzuki Brigade was greatly reduced. The brigade commander Suzuki had repeatedly asked to send the shells as soon as possible, but now...

Nishiyi's gloomy eyes swept around the headquarters. He was disappointed to find that all the officers' eyes were dark in the city, including Takeyama Uchio who firmly refused the support of the Sixth Division. Nishiyi nodded bitterly.

But soon Muto's telegram came back, and Muto's Nobuyi clearly told him that the 8th Division must change its strategy, change from offense to perseverance, and gradually shrink its defense line to Gubeikou. The Kwantung Army General Command had a comprehensive plan and was ready to launch an offensive in Luandong, cooperate with the negotiations in the city of Beiping, and strive for troops that would not fight.

After reading the telegram, Xiyi immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops from Xiadianzi and Tucheng Town. He used the division's Nomura brigade directly under the division to establish a position in Houer Mountain. Fu Zuoyi and Sun Dianying, who were preparing to block the pursuit.^^^^^ The main force of the division immediately turned to Gubeikou.

Muto Nobuyi's deployment was indeed helpless. After the counterattack of the Chinese team began, he was also full of confidence, but then he found that the counterattack of the Chinese team this time was completely different from the past. It had a large range, many attack points, and many troops. More importantly, it was no longer fighting alone like before, but cooperated with each other, exposing the problem of insufficient Japanese troops.

How to deal with the adverse changes in the Great Wall front line, the Kwantung Army Command had a disagreement. Koi Iso Kiyoshi suggested sending reinforcements from the northeast to launch an attack in Luandong and Lengkou, and to surround Wei to save Zhao. Deputy Chief of Staff Okamura Natsuchi suggested temporarily stop the attack, the Sixth Division advanced westward with all his might, and the 33rd Brigade defended the Zhong** team in the Lengkou direction, and then attacked again after breaking the counterattack of the Zhong** team. Neither of them mentioned asking for help from the country. They knew that Muto Nobuyoshi would never adopt such a suggestion.

Muto Nobuyi finally adopted Koiki Aki's suggestion, mainly because he prefers this suggestion so that he can take the initiative in the battlefield. However, Koiki Aki's suggestion made him hesitate for a while, and finally ordered a gang from the Second Division of Heilongjiang, and a gang from the Eighth Mixed Brigade in the South Manchuria area to form a reinforcement regiment and launch an attack in Luandong.

Although Muto Nobuyoshi was unwilling to ask for help from Tokyo, Tokyo was always paying attention to him. As soon as his deployment was implemented, the Tokyo area telegram came. The military department reminded him to pay attention to the Great Wall war concerning the prestige of the imperial army, and to pay attention to the mutual cooperation of all aspects.

Although the words were tactful, Muto Nobuyi knew that this was asking him for diplomatic negotiation power. When the Battle of Rehkawa began, the military officer of the Shanghai Consulate, Ken Hokawa, had negotiated with Huang Fu, but at Muto Nobuyi's strong request, it ended in failure. Muto clearly stated in the request that the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not want the participation of the Kanto Army, and the Kanto Army itself could negotiate with China. Muto's statement undoubtedly pulled off the last fig leaf of the Japanese civil servant system and made Lu

The military and provincial government are extremely embarrassed. Now Tokyo has begun to take advantage of the Kwantung Army's dilemma to counterattack. When the Japanese reinforcements were still gathering in Shenyang, the second phase of the counterattack of the Chinese team began. The Lengkou defenders, who had been unable to defend during the war for more than two months, suddenly emerged under the command of Shang Zhen and Wei Lihuang, and captured Gao Jianzi, an important support point of the Japanese army. Li Mo'an attacked from Liujiatai and captured the two high grounds of the Sanyen Heights and Tuliangzi outside the mouth.

The cold counterattack angered the commander of the 6th Division, Masaemon Sakamoto. He quickly mobilized the main force of the 6th Division, Takada Brigade and the garrisoned team of the Matsuda Brigade to launch a counterattack on the Zhong** team. Shang Zhen devoted the entire 141 Division to the battle for Takabazi. Within a few days, both sides threw down thousands of corpses on this desolate ridge.

Okamura Yasuji looked at the battle map, from Gubeikou to Lengkou, from Chifeng to Great Wall, hundreds of kilometers of front lines, and tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, there were fierce battles everywhere, except for one point - Hifengkou.

Xifengkou is quiet. Even if the cold mouth and Gubeikou are already bloody, the defenders here have let the Japanese Imperial Army lose all their faces some time ago. They are the 29th Army, one of the most brave and war-friendly troops of the Chinese team. Will they quietly watch the changes in the battlefield situation? The Japanese army here has only one rice field unit, with less than 3,000 troops, but the defense area is more than 70 miles long. The troops are so weak, will the Chinese generals turn a blind eye? Absolutely, cold sweat flows down Okamura Yanji's back, and the commander must be reminded immediately. Okamura threw his pen and ran towards Muto Nobuyoshi's office.

Luowenyu, an important pass southwest of Xifengkou, Liu Ruming's troops in the 143rd Division of the 29th Army were responsible for defending the place. Since defeating the Japanese attack in mid-March, it has been very peaceful here. Now the peace here is about to be broken.

"Zi Liang, you are our first shot. This shot must be fired. If you fire a squint, the battle behind will be difficult." Song Zheyuan put down his telescope and said to a stubborn general beside him. After confirming the counterattack, he rushed from Peiping to Zunhua to convene his subordinates to discuss and decided to start from Luowenyu first. The reason is that the Japanese army opposite Luowenyu is the weakest, and only a mere brigade has been identified by our army. We have the greatest confidence in starting from here to win victory.

"Don't worry, commander, we will definitely complete the task." Liu Ruming was still full of courage at this moment and was fully worthy of the title of the Five Tiger Generals of the Northwest Army.

"Well, what are you going to fight?" Song Zheyuan asked.

"Old method, night attack." Liu Ruming said without hesitation: "It will start tonight. I haven't moved him for more than two months, so I have itchy teeth."

Song Zheyuan nodded after hearing this: "The Japanese weapons are good, and the artillery fire is strong. Night combat can greatly weaken their advantages. But they suffered a loss last time. Is this method okay?"

"No problem," Liu Ruming smiled faintly: "The Japanese don't have a memory, they forgot everything after not fighting for two months. My scouts once climbed to the edge of their positions to observe, and their defense was very relaxed."

Song Zheyuan was a little surprised. After the Battle of Xifengkou, the 29th Army was famous for its big blades and night battles. The Japanese army on the opposite side was still so relaxed, which was really hard to understand.

That night, everyone in the first regiment of the 143rd Division held a knife and a gun in one hand, sneaked out of our position in Luowenyu and touched the Da'ankou where the Japanese army was stationed. The other unit was also the brigade commander Li Lantian, led by the brigade commander, detoured out of Shabaoyu in the dark and inserted it into the rear of the Japanese army.
