In early April, Japanese Kanto Army commander Muto Nobuyi faced such a bad battle situation. Under the pressure of the base camp, he urgently transferred the 20th and 22nd Divisions in North Korea to participate in the battle. The 20th and 22nd Divisions began to land and assemble along Shanhaiguan. At the same time, part of the 6th Division of the Japanese army and the 7th Division all began to assemble to the Lengkou line, and also dispatched an artillery corps from Fengtian to support the battle. Then he launched a larger-scale attack.

"Report to the brigade seat, secret order of the military seat!" A military combat staff member handed a letter to Tan Peng. The new content is very simple: order all defensive troops in the army to build tunnel fortifications in order to reduce casualties and prevent the bombing of Japanese aircraft and artillery fire. A detailed drawing of tunnel fortifications in this letter is signed by the commander of the army, Yang Xiaoou!

When Tan Peng opened the drawings, the soldiers' intuition immediately saw its unique value. He then ordered the officers and soldiers of the 16th Brigade located behind the defense line to log logs on the mountain to provide materials for building tunnels. Tan Peng asked all surface fortifications to build a tunnel fortification to guard against Japanese aerial bombing and artillery fire. Due to the bottleneck of transportation, the 32nd Division only belonged to an artillery regiment and was assigned to the military headquarters to directly command to defend the main peak position of Lengkou. Therefore, other defensive positions could not be supported by their own artillery fire. Moreover, under the Japanese air strike, the artillery positions would be easily destroyed once discovered.

In mid-April, the Japanese army assembled all the Seventh Division and part of the Sixth Division in front of Lengkou, and a large number of nearly 40,000 puppet troops launched a new round of offensives. Perhaps the Japanese army had fully understood that the 32nd Army of the Jin army was defending Lengkou. Out of revenge, they wanted to defeat the 32nd Army in one fell swoop and break through the Great Wall defense line in Lengkou.

The 33rd Japanese Brigade assisted the reinforcement of the 35th Brigade and took the lead in launching an attack on the front line of Yiharaguchi. The crazy Japanese army launched attacks in turn in the form of echelon scattered attacks. With dense artillery fire and air support, they officially opened the three-dimensional combat mode, and the tragic war was staged again.

On the No. 10 position, Tan Peng stood in a bunker and saw the Japanese and puppet troops everywhere. He loudly ordered each defensive position to wait until the enemy approached before fighting. The intention was obvious, but it was intended to effectively kill the enemy and have vitality. Due to the protection of tunnel fortifications, the combat loss rate of officers and soldiers was sharply reduced. Although he brought the enemy closer before fighting, he also faced casualties. However, the enemy faced even greater casualties. Tan Peng knew very well that such a cruel battle was not the time to preserve his strength, but the time to compete for the endurance, willpower and spirit of sacrifice between the two sides.

The sound of gunfire and explosions on the battlefield were deafening. In the frontier No. 2 defensive position, due to the flat terrain of the position, the Japanese army organized two wheeled tanks to join the attack. At present, the Japanese army does not have a large number of tracked tanks, and the Japanese tanks are almost just a metal box now, but the Japanese army believes that even this kind of iron box is enough to deal with the Chinese army.

The one who defended position No. 2 was a company of our army. The Japanese tanks were very fast, and they approached the frontline positions while shooting wildly. Facing the fierce Japanese tanks, the defensive soldiers did not retreat, and the cross firepower on both sides destroyed the Japanese army following behind the tank. As soon as the tanks penetrated deep into the trenches, the brave soldiers used explosives to blow the tanks up, and instantly turned into a pile of scrap iron. The Japanese army did not dare to throw them into the tanks when they saw this. Because this terrain was very unsuitable for tank combat, the Japanese army had no choice but to use the tanks as support artillery fire.

The terrain of the No. 5 position was wide open, and the Japanese army rushed into the trenches several times and broke out hand-to-hand combat. Our army used the reserve team to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army several times. The No. 5 position changed hands several times, and the repeated battles were almost unsuccessful. Not only was the battle situation unprecedentedly fierce, but it also reached a stalemate. After seven consecutive days of attack, the Japanese offensive troops paid a heavy price, and more than half of the First Brigade suffered casualties.

While fierce battle broke out in Yoshiharaguchi, the Japanese army also launched a strong attack at Liujiakou, Huolong Temple, Jianchang Camp and Lengkou Main Peak. After nearly 10 days of fighting, the Japanese army paid a heavy price and did not break through any position. The Japanese army's offensive began to weaken, and in the face of huge casualties, veterans who could fight within the Japanese army were terrified.

In the wounded barracks of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army, a Japanese veteran with a short left arm wrote in his diary: "We drove from the northern region to the cold mouth, and the soldiers were full of fighting spirit. The Chinese army we fought in the northern region were throwing out armor, and the brave Japanese Imperial Army was like a no-man's land, and no one could stop the Imperial Army."

"Before the attack, the commander said that the 32nd Army of the Jin army was opposite, and the Jin army troops would attack. They used despicable means to mobilize a brigade of troops in Daweizigou and ate a battalion of my brigade. Now is the time for us to take revenge. The time for the loyal and brave soldiers to make contributions to the Emperor has come, and rushed forward to eliminate the hateful Chinese people...

"The enthusiasm of the companions was mobilized, and then we launched a charge. Several charges were repelled. The companions did not think about what kind of troops were on the other side. Everyone was red from their eyes. Bomber bombing and artillery fire extended, we rushed up again. The soldiers around us kept falling down and saw two companions getting shot in their heads. Suddenly, the explosion sounded in their ears, and the waves of the explosion blew me away. Then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found that my left forearm was gone. I heard from the military doctor that our attack was repelled again and that the losses were heavy. Why is this so difficult to have elite troops in the Chinese army? Unfortunately, my military career has ended and I can no longer fight for the emperor..." A Japanese veteran truly portrayed the situation on the battlefield in his diary.

A few days later, Tan Peng's troops were withdrawn to Qian'an for repairs, and the Yiyuankou Defense Zone was taken to the Second Brigade. A large number of replenished soldiers came from Shanxi near Qian'an, and the injured soldiers were sent to Peiping one after another. A group of seriously injured soldiers were set off. The brigade commander Tan Peng personally saw him off and said, "Brothers, you are a good person and have fulfilled your duties as a soldier. Don't worry, go back to recuperate. We are here to kill more enemies for you, and hope that you will recover from your injuries as soon as possible."

Many wounded soldiers were lying on stretchers. Although they could not speak, they had tears in their eyes and said goodbye to the brigade commander excitedly. After the cruel battle and the test of life and death, the feelings between the officers and soldiers became deeper. Due to the strong financial resources and sufficient preparations in the Jin army, all the injured officers and soldiers were treated well and timely.

A staff officer from the Taiyuan Command of Shanxi Province reported: "Deputy Commander Mu, now the wounded soldiers in all major hospitals in Peking City have been saturated. Boai Hospital called and said that many wounded soldiers from the neighboring troops were sent there. Now Boai Hospital is overcrowded. They called to ask what to do?" Mu Yaping pondered for a moment and said: "Call back. From now on, Boai Hospital will accept serious injuries, and all minor injuries will be transported to Shanxi. In addition, as long as the wounded soldiers from the neighboring troops are willing to come to Shanxi, they must not shirk responsibility or make mistakes." Mu Yaping thought to himself: These wounded soldiers are not only veterans, but also have rich combat experience. Why not take this opportunity to take a large number of wounded soldiers from various units on the Internet, and their role in improving the combat effectiveness of the troops in the future is immeasurable.

On that day, Ji Yunfei, who was resting, was studying the map in the brigade department. The phone ringing rang. Ji Yunfei picked up the phone and it turned out that it was the commander of the 81st Regiment Wang who called and reported that there were a group of scattered soldiers who retreated from the northern part of Rehe. He asked to join our department and ask whether to take it in. Ji Yunfei ordered the commander of Wang to bring these scattered soldiers to the brigade department without hesitation.

About an hour later, there was a noise outside. When Ji Yunfei went out, he saw four or five hundred people standing there. Most of them did not rob, and there were large pieces of cotton wool exposed at the thigh of the cotton jacket that had not been changed, which looked very embarrassed. At this time, a bearded man stepped forward and said, "Sir, we are asking to fight the Japanese, please take us in!"

"Yes! Sir, please take us in. We want to fight the Japanese!" The soldiers were yelling. Ji Yunfei was moved and said, "Welcome to fight the Japanese! What level are you?" The bearded man shouted, "Sir, I am the company commander, I have only a dozen subordinates, and the others gathered on the road." Ji Yunfei shouted, "Now I will appoint you as battalion commander, all of these people are under your command, your unit is organized into the 81st Regiment. This is your regiment commander." After Ji Yunfei said that, he pushed the regiment commander forward.

The soldiers in front of him cheered, and then Commander Wang led everyone back to the garrison to change clothes and rest. Ji Yunfei immediately reported this situation to Fu Zuoyi. Fu Zuoyi thought the opportunity was rare, so he ordered the front-line troops to vigorously recruit scattered soldiers and yongs. By the end of the battle, Fu Zuoyi's troops had actually recruited more than 20,000 people. Except for some of them left in the army, most of them were sent back to Shanxi by Fu Zuoyi.

Tan Peng was repairing the situation near Qian'an for less than a week, but suddenly received an order from the military headquarters to quickly drive to Liujiakou on the east side of the Lengkou defense line, and defend the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division in Liujiakou area. Due to large-scale sneak attacks by the Japanese army, he suffered heavy losses. The reason was that he did not know the enemy's situation, which caused a crisis in the entire defense line of Liujiakou.

Originally, Xinyizhai on the southeast side of Liujiakou was part of the 59th Army of the Northeast Army defending. A brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese army quickly launched a sneak attack on Xinyizhai. The defensive officers and soldiers of the 59th Army were caught off guard and quickly gave up the Xinyizhai position and retreated south. After the Japanese occupied Xinyizhai, they launched sneak attacks on the Liujiakou position defended by the Fourth Brigade overnight.

Uninformed officers and soldiers of the Fourth Brigade were in a very passive situation under the night attack of the Japanese army. All guards from a battalion of Highland No. 35 in the east were killed. The Fourth Brigade was forced to fight back. At dawn, Japanese reinforcements rushed to join the war, and the situation of the Fourth Brigade was suddenly dangerous. There was no way, and the military headquarters had to let Tan Peng's troops, who had just been replenished, provide reinforcements.

When the situation was critical, the brigade commander of the 4th Brigade asked the 59th Army, which was close to the corner, to launch a strong attack on Xinyizhai to alleviate its crisis situation. However, the 59th Army refused to save him when he was dead and refused on the pretext of obeying the orders of the Beiping Military Sub-district. From this, it shows how bad the various troops defending the front line of the Great Wall have. Each of them only sweeps the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on others.

There is no way, this is China's national condition. The Japanese dare to be so unscrupulous, but in fact they have grasped the characteristics of the Chinese army nowadays. To put it bluntly, it is the internal friction of the Chinese.
