Chapter 35 Reinforcement
"Baga, Bagayalu"
Kento Iono was furious and furious, waving his saber wildly, just trying to cut people.
One, just a little bit short of it. The 3rd Infantry Battalion took the high ground on the left. Unfortunately, the Songdao Squad was unable to withstand the counterattack of the National Army and lost the high ground too quickly. As a result, the National Army set up machine guns on the high ground and fired a strafing. The 3rd Infantry Battalion was defeated again and left more than a hundred corpses.
After roaring for a long time, Kento Iino calmed down again. While organizing troops to continue the attack, he sent a communications soldier to report to Junroro Matsuura, asking Matsuura to give him another half a day and make a military order with Matsuura. If he could not break through the Wanjialing defense line of the National Army before dark, he would give the emperor a cut-off to thank him.
Junroro Matsuura was also furious after hearing the news, but he was helpless. The 113th Infantry Regiment had the most veterans in the entire 10th Pei Regiment, and Kento Iino was also the most capable of fighting among the four infantry regiments. Now even the 113th Infantry Regiment and the 113th Infantry Regiment were not good. If you change to someone else, other infantry regiments would be even more hopeless.
What's more, the other national troops in various directions have come one after another, especially the national troops following behind, who are launching a fierce attack on the Ichikawa United, which is breaking behind. Ichikawa Yosao has sent people twice, claiming that the national troops' offensive is very fierce, and the Ichikawa United's casualties are also very large, and it may not last long.
There was no way, Matsuura Junroro could only strictly order the Ichikawa United to continue to defend the Changling line, while anxiously urging Honma Masaharu's reinforcements to launch a joint attack on the Wanjialing direction as soon as possible. Usually, Matsuura Junrorororo didn't really appreciate the B Division, a Division adapted from the garrison brigade, but now, he can only count on the First Division to save his life.
Honma Masaharu didn't shirk much. After receiving a telegram from Junroro Matsuura, he called Nagashi Toshide's words to Nagashi Toshide. In the words, he urged Nagashi Toshide again to speed up the marching. Nagashi Toshide immediately ordered the marching to give up the search, and the entire army would run and march straight for Wanjialing. This was very dangerous. Once there was an ambush nearby, the one waiting for the Yongjian Corps would be the end of the destruction of the entire army. However, Honma Masaharu urged him very quickly, and Nagashi Toshide could not take much care of it.
At this point, the performance of the Japanese army is much stronger than that of the national army. Due to the factions, the upper peak deliberately made things difficult for the subordinates. The subordinates are lying on the upper peak, and even the most critical moments of the war are common. However, there are no factions within the Japanese army and they are determined to execute orders.
Feng Shengfa also made a mistake. He did not predict that the reinforcements of the Masaharu Division would go directly to Wanjialing regardless of everything, so he did not consider setting up ambush at several dangerous places leading to Wanjialing in the First Division. Instead, he placed Chen Shizheng's 344th Regiment at the corner of the hourglass to prepare for the attack.
Therefore, the reinforcements of the First Division ran more than 30 kilometers in less than three hours. Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, the reinforcements led by Yongjian Junde appeared near Wanjialing, and then launched a fierce attack on the hourglass-pointed position stationed by the 344th Regiment. Two Japanese troops attacked fiercely at the narrow position guarded by the 58th Division, and even the sound of guns and cannons on the opposite side could be clearly heard.
Faced with the attacks between the two divisions of the Japanese, Feng Shengfa could no longer stay in the 343rd Regiment headquarters to supervise the battle, and immediately took Yang Shaoren back to the division headquarters. However, before leaving, Feng Shengfa still drew a battalion from the 347th Regiment, which was the reserve team, to strengthen the 343rd Regiment's troops. It would not be possible to strengthen it. In the previous battle to restore positions, more than half of the last battalion of the 343rd Regiment was killed or injured. Now the whole regiment can't afford to add a whole battalion.
When he returned to the division headquarters, the deputy commander He Lingxiao was so anxious that he was jumping there.
Seeing Feng Shengfa, He Lingxiao rushed over and shouted: "Master, please ask for help from the military and the chief officer."
Fang Riying and Zhu Qi also looked anxious. The 58th Division had only three main regiments, and Han Keqiang's 348th Regiment had not yet obtained contact. Pei still didn't know that the 348th Regiment had actually died in the country. Now he had to use the troops of three regiments to attack the two Japanese divisions. This is not a joke.
Feng Shengfa took off his helmet and handed it to Zhang Shaojie, but pursed his lips without saying a word.
There were no soldiers to adjust at all in the military seat, so the chief seat was probably enough. Although the 1st Corps had ten armies and more than 20 divisions, the 300,000 troops were small, but when they were divided on the front line of the Nanxun Line, there was no shortage of them immediately. What's more, even if Xue Yue sent reinforcements, it was too late. When the reinforcements arrived, the daylily was cold.

De'an, the headquarters of the 1st Corps.
Xue Yue did not intend to send reinforcements to the 58th Division. Because the Matsuura Division responded quickly, he turned around and retreated before the situation worsened. As a result, the 41st 8th and UU troops could only follow the little Japanese but chase them. At this time, the troops were drawn around the long road and detoured to Wanjialing to reinforce the 58th Division. It would be better to bite behind the Matsuura Division and continue to put pressure on the Matsuura Division so that it could not attack the 58th Division unscrupulously.
After Ou Zhen's 4th Army, the 8th Army also rushed to the vicinity of Changling, but there were also mountains and steep mountains near Changling. Apart from the only mountain road, it was difficult to find another passage nearby. Re-opening the passage from the mountains was time-consuming and laborious, so the situation was temporarily dull.
At least from the moment, it is not realistic to quickly defeat the rear guards of the Matsuura Division.
The current situation is like a chess game. The little Japanese bit a little dragon in the Kuomintang army, and the national army bit a big dragon in the minor Japanese. In the end, whether it was the little Japanese who ate the little dragon in the Kuomintang army to rescue his big dragon, or the national army who ate the big dragon in one bite, the key is whether the little dragon in the Kuomintang army is very strong.
The little dragon of the National Army is of course Feng Shengfa's 58th Division.
Looking at the red basket and two-color small flags gradually intertwined on the sand table, Xue Yue asked Wu Yizhi: "Chief of Staff, what is going on over Wanjialing? Are there any casualties in the 58th Division?"
Wu Yizhi said: "The 58th Division only sent a telegram, saying that the situation could still be maintained."
The situation can still be maintained? After hearing this, Xue Yue was relieved first, and then guilt arose in his heart. Xue Yue certainly knew that behind this ordinary situation, the bleeding and sacrifice of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 58th Division, the 58th Division actually needed reinforcements, but Feng Shengfa didn't say it out.
If it were another teacher, I would have complained a lot.
"Feng Shengfa is a man, I owe him this time." Xue Yue suddenly said in a daze, "But no matter what, I have to wait until the war is over."
(Split Line)
The offensive of the Division was extremely fierce.
Unlike the Matsuura Division, the reinforcements of the First Division brought a mountain artillery brigade. It is not unreasonable that artillery is called the King of War. It is completely different from having or not having artillery to participate in the war. Mountain artillery, 92 infantry artillery, and mortar are two different concepts. Of course, mountain artillery and heavy artillery are not the same level of weapons.
Because the Matsuura Division had to intersperse and detour from the mountains and ridges, it only carried a small number of infantry artillery and mortars in order to reduce the obstacles to march. The First Division could march along the rock road, so it could carry 75mm caliber mountain cannons and 75mm caliber mountain cannons with mules and horses, which was enough to blow up the temporary fortifications built by the National Army to pieces.
What’s worse is that the terrain of the hourglass tip is far less favorable than the terrain tip. Although the terrain tip is not steep and steep, there are at least two small hills in front as barriers, which can form support between each other. However, there are only two hills that are almost integrated into one, and the terrain is also smoother than the terrain tip and sparse vegetation.
