Zhang Xinghan and others evacuated smoothly, but the battle between the two groups of Japanese devils did not stop. Both sides believed that the other was a Chinese army and each tried their best.

Although the infantry squadron directly under the brigade was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, because he was responsible for the safety of the brigade headquarters and the brigade commander, the Japanese in the infantry squadron fought tenaciously under the leadership of the squadron leader.

The two sides fought for more than two hours. Just as the garrison infantry squadron was gradually running out of support, more Japanese troops retreated in a hurry from the direction of Xifengkou.

……………………

The retreating Japanese troops were defeated head-on by the 109th Brigade and the 110th Brigade. Due to the sudden attack of the 37th Division and the advantage of military strength, they fought hand-to-hand combat from the beginning. The Japanese soldiers, whose troops were already somewhat short of their strength, were ordered by Suzuki Mitsuto to draw an infantry brigade to siege the Big Sword Team.

As a result, the front line's troops became even more empty. After a fierce hand-to-hand battle, they finally could not resist the fierce attack of the 37th Division, and they were defeated and defeated.

In fact, the 37th Division was able to defeat the Fourth Japanese Brigade head-on in hand-to-hand combat. In addition to the battle being held at night, and the Big Sword Team attacked the Japanese artillery positions at night, causing the Japanese troops to disperse and command chaotic. In addition, the cavalry battalion led by Brigade Commander He Jifeng. In hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry faced the Japanese infantry, which basically massacred.

…………….

The two groups of Japanese soldiers who were still killing each other discovered the Japanese soldiers retreating from the direction of Qifengkou. Sakai Saburo discovered that fierce battles broke out in front of him. Unknown circumstances, he immediately ordered the flares to be fired.

"My flares!" About a dozen flares slowly took off, and the dark night was illuminated like daylight. The Japanese soldiers who were fighting fiercely on both sides finally realized something was wrong and stopped shooting one after another.

And he began to contact the interface. At this moment, Colonel Sakai Saburo walked up with a ferocious face with a saber in his arms. Because the troops were defeated, Saburo Saburo was in a hurry to escape and fell a dog to eat shit. At this time, half of his face had swollen into a pig's ass.

So it looked particularly ferocious. Sakai Saburo took the guards forward and directly attacked a squadron leader who was commanding the troops to engage in a desperate battle with him.

Sakai Saburo recognized the squadron leader, who was the garrison leader directly under the brigade headquarters. He immediately strode forward and shouted loudly, "Bagaya Road! What's going on?"

"Captain of the regiment!" The Japanese Major and the Captain quickly turned around and stood attentively.

"What's the job?" Sakai Saburo asked.

"Report to the captain of the regiment, our troops were ordered to pursue the remnants of the Chinese army, but were intercepted by the Zhou garrison squadron and suffered heavy losses!" The captain of the Japanese brigade said with some anger.

"Sir! Our garrison squadron fired at the order of the brigade commander. At that time, we were blocking the Chinese army. I wonder how it became the first brigade. Ninety percent of the warriors in our garrison squadron were killed." The Japanese captain also said with a pale face.

"Haga!" Sakai Saburo slapped the two of them and said angrily: "You guys, stupid pigs do their jobs! They actually kill each other!"

"Hayi!" The two of them dared not refute, and at the same time they suddenly lowered their heads.

"Where is the brigade commander?" Sakai Saburo asked angrily.

"Hi!" The Japanese Captain raised his hand and called a Japanese soldier, asking, "Where is the Brigade Commander?"

"I don't know that the brigade commander had evacuated two hours ago with several guards." The Japanese soldier replied.

"Not good! No good!" A Japanese soldier ran over with a panic expression.

"Baga! What's the matter with work? So panicked?" Sakai Saburo cursed and scolded.

"Sir, brigade commander, brigade commander is broken!" The Japanese soldier replied with a decadent expression.

"What? What are you talking about?" Sakai Saburo was furious when he heard this, grabbed the private's collar and roared: "You are lying! How could the brigade commander be killed!" As he said that, he swung his palm and opened the bow left and right.

"Hay! Sir, it's true! The brigade commander has been killed. The body is there!" The Japanese soldier responded loudly and pointed.

Sakai Saburo rushed over quickly and looked at Mitsuto Suzuki lying on the ground. Saburo Saburo almost wanted to go crazy. At this moment, a second lieutenant of the Japanese ran over hurriedly, saying, "Captain of the regiment, the Chinese army is catching up!"

"Baga!" Sakai Saburo was furious and said, "Take the general's body and retreat!" Since the brigade commander had been killed, the Fourth Brigade could be said to have no leader, Saburo Saburo ordered the retreat was helpless because he knew that Masao Watanabe's 5th Infantry Regiment would definitely not obey his command.

………………………………………

It was getting dark, and the 37th Division's troops returned one after another. This attack won a great victory, not only destroying the Japanese artillery positions, but also defeating the Fourth Japanese Brigade head-on, killing and wounding thousands of Japanese invaders.

Zhao Dengyu, Wang Zhibang and others stood solemnly on the wall of Xifengkou Pass. Looking at the officers and soldiers returning home one after another, General Wang Zhibang's face was a little excited. After all, this time the 37th Division created a miracle, broke the myth of the invincible Japanese army, and achieved the great victory of Xifengkou that was enough to be recorded in history.

However, Zhao Dengyu was in a heavy mood at this time. He didn't know whether the young soldier who sacrificed his life to save him was still alive, whether he had died on the battlefield as he said, or could turn bad luck into good luck and return safely.

"Brother Zhao! All the troops are back! The results of the battle have also been counted. In this battle, we killed more than 4,600 Japanese troops, destroyed all the light and heavy artillery of the Fourth Brigade, seized countless guns and ammunition, defeated the Fourth Brigade head-on, and achieved a brilliant victory!" General Wang Zhibang said with excitement. In fact, the number of enemies that General Wang Zhibang said was only counted after the fierce battle last night, and did not include the accumulated number of enemies killed in recent days.

"Brigate! Can we report the victory to the commander of the division headquarters?" Deputy Brigade Commander He Jifeng also asked excitedly.

"Yes!" General Zhao Dengyu nodded with a serious expression and said, "Report the victory to the headquarters. After a night of bloody battle, our 109th Brigade and 110th Brigade head-on defeated the Fourth Japanese Brigade, and destroyed all the enemy artillery and heavy weapons, killing more than 5,000 enemies."

"Yes!" He Jifeng stood up and saluted, then turned around and strode away.

Ji County, the Third Corps Headquarters.

General Song Zheyuan, who was also the commander of the Third Corps, and General Feng Zhian, the commander of the 37th Division, who had just arrived from the front line, were discussing military information.

At this time, Zhang Weifan, chief of staff of the 29th Army, walked into the headquarters quickly with a hurried look.

General Song Zheyuan saw Zhang Weifan's expression in a hurry and immediately asked, "Jieren, what's wrong? What's the battle report on the front line?" (Jieren is Zhang Weifan's name.)

"Commander! Great victory, great victory! Great victory at Xifengkou! Zhao, Wang and He jointly sent an emergency call, saying that the 109th Brigade and the 110th Brigade launched an attack on the Japanese invaders overnight, and defeated the Japanese Fourth Brigade head-on after a fierce battle. During this period, Zhao Dengyu personally led a big sword team to successfully attack the artillery positions of the Fourth Brigade and destroyed all the artillery of the Fourth Brigade. In this battle, more than 5,000 enemies were killed! This is an unprecedented victory that has been achieved since the September 18th Incident!" Zhang Weifan reported with an excited expression.

"Okay! Do a good job! This battle is enough to save the shame of 918! It will greatly enhance our army's military power!" General Song Zheyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

"Yes! The Japanese Fourth Brigade has fled in a hurry, and Xifengkou is as stable as Mount Tai! Zhao Dengyu and the others did a great job this time!" Zhang Weifan also nodded and agreed.

General Feng Zhian, the commander of the 37th Division next to him, was overjoyed and said to Song Zheyuan with an excited expression: "Commander, can you report the victory to Nanjing! Report the entire country and the entire army, our army has achieved unprecedented victories!"

"Well! Immediately send a telephone to Chairman Jiang! Report the brilliant achievements of the 37th Division!" General Song Zheyuan nodded in agreement.

"Yangzhi (Feng Zhi'an's name) Jieren, let's go to Xifengkou! I wish you my brothers in the 37th Division!" General Song Zheyuan said as he picked up his woolen coat.

"Let's go!" The two of them pointed their heads and immediately followed General Song Zheyuan out of the headquarters one after another.

……………………………

The Prince Shuncheng Palace in the Beiping Plain, now the headquarters of the Beiping Pacification Office of the National Government.

Zhang Xueliang, currently the director of the Peking Pacification Office, was frowning. Just a few minutes ago, he also received a good news from the 29th Army from the front line.

Looking at this good news that should have inspired all Chinese people, Zhang Xueliang could not be excited. The 29th Army became famous in one battle, and made the country's prestige at Xifengkou, destroying the Japanese invaders' prestige. However, such victory undoubtedly slapped the Northeast Army headed by Zhang Xueliang with a loud slap in the face.

With the strength of the first division, the 29th Army was able to retreat to the enemy head-on and achieve unprecedented victory. However, the Northeast Army had 400,000 troops before the September 18th Incident, but did not fire a single shot or an ammunition and was driven out of the three eastern provinces by the Japanese invaders. In just a few months, the entire three large eastern provinces were lost to the enemy.

With such a sharp contrast, how could he feel good? Moreover, after the September 18th Incident, Zhang Xueliang secretly regretted that the foundation laid by his father's lifelong energy was lost in just a few years, and he and hundreds of thousands of subordinates became a betrayal dog.

If the domestic warlords fight, they lose the Northeast, that's nothing. The success and kings will succeed and lose the Northeast. But now the one who occupies the Northeast has been peeping the land of China for a long time since the Ming and Qing dynasties. Yu Gong said that the Japanese invaders invaded our Northeast, stood in my territory, and killed our people for the sake of national hatred. Zhang Zuolin, the former leader of the Fengtian Army, died at the hands of the Japanese. In private, they had a grudge against Zhang Xueliang to kill his father.

The addition of the two means national hatred and family hatred. Each aspect is a deep hatred of blood. All bloody men should be ready to take revenge at any time.

In fact, at this time, Zhang Xueliang felt a little regretful that he gave up the decision of the three northeastern provinces without resistance, but the matter was irreversible. What he thought now was that in his lifetime, he would definitely lead the Northeast army to fight back to the Northeast. But I don’t know if he still had such an opportunity.

Nanjing, the head of the National Government.

The sky was slightly bright, and Chairman Jiang had already gotten up. After washing up, he came to his study without caring about breakfast.

Just as Chairman Jiang sat down, He Yingqin, Chief of Staff of the Military Commission, walked in quickly and quickly.

After entering the study, General He Yingqin stood up and saluted: "Committee, good news, the commander of the Third Army Song Zheyuan sent an urgent telegram, saying that the 37th Division took the initiative to attack at Xifengkou last night, defeated the Fourth Japanese Brigade head-on, killed more than 5,000 enemies, seized a lot of weapons and supplies, and achieved brilliant results! It severely damaged the Japanese army's majesty."

"Okay! This battle was beautiful! Who commanded it? The government should cultivate such talents and reward them well to encourage morale in the military!" Chairman Jiang said happily when he heard this.

"The front-line commander of this battle is Zhao Dengyu, deputy commander Wang Zhibang and He Jifeng, etc.," He Yingqin replied.

"Telephone rewards! Encourage frontline soldiers to continue to carry forward the spirit of this battle, fight bravely to fight the enemy, and serve the country! In addition, we will inform the newspapers of this victory to major newspapers and publicize them widely to encourage the people across the country, increase their trust in the government, and let the people know that the government is anti-Japanese." Chairman Jiang said meaningfully.

"Yes! I understand the humble position!" How smart He Yingqin was? How could he not know the intention of Chairman Jiang's move?

……………………………….

On that day, the news of the great victory of Xifengkou was known by major newspapers. The Central Daily News Agency and the Central News Agency published the shocking victory. In the evening, the headlines of major newspapers published the news that the 29th Army severely damaged the Japanese army at Xifengkou and achieved a great victory.

Once the news was published, the whole country was excited.

That night, the streets and alleys of major cities such as Peking, Baoding, Taiyuan, Jinan, Qingdao, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Wuhan were rushing to tell each other, and the news of the victory in Xifengkou instantly spread throughout the country.

That night, patriotic students and businessmen from some major cities gathered overnight to hold a parade to celebrate the brilliant achievements of the 29th Army at Xifengkou.

For a time, the names of the 29th Army's Big Sword Team and the anti-Japanese hero Zhao Dengyu and others spread throughout the country. Zhao Dengyu, Wang Zhibang and others became anti-Japanese generals in the hearts of the Chinese people!

Just as the country is celebrating the great victory of Xifengkou and cheering for it.

At the same time, Zhang Xinghan, who had already made great achievements, was struggling to move towards Xifengkou with dozens of remaining sword warriors.

In the battle last night, although they successfully guided the two Japanese troops to kill each other and took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle group, because the main Japanese army had retreated, their retreat was blocked. For this reason, Zhang Xinghan had to take this team to continue to retreat north, but instead retreated north in front of the Japanese.

After a night of tossing, they finally escaped the retreating Japanese main force and returned to Xifengkou along the original route.

At this time, the weather was extremely cold, and the warriors of the Big Sword Team had no food or drink for a day and a night. In addition, they fought fiercely overnight and marched for a long distance, and everyone was exhausted.

Everyone was gritting their teeth and insisting because they completed the task and everyone wanted to go back alive.

PS: The Battle of Xifengkou is about to come to an end soon, and Zhang Xinghan is about to start his unusual military journey. Next is the July 7 Incident, the Battle of Shanghai! The climax is coming, and I request firepower support! Please recommend votes!
