Previously, the commander of the 13th Division was appointed as the Lieutenant General of the State Army and set up the division headquarters in Fengyang County, and ordered the 58,116th Infantry Regiment of the 26th Brigade to attack Fengyang Gorge and Tianma Peak.

Among them, the 28th Infantry Regiment was responsible for attacking Fengyang Gorge. In order to facilitate the command of the troops' attack, Colonel Kuramori, the captain of the 58th Infantry Regiment, set up his corps command at the foot of Fengyang Gorge Mountain.

In the command of the 58th Infantry Regiment, the commander of the regiment, Kuramori Kuramori, accompanied by the chief of staff and several adjutants, was holding a telescope to observe the progress of the offensive troops. He never thought that the offensive troops had just launched a charge, but suddenly there was a neat and deafening shout from the National Army position on the top of the mountain opposite, and its momentum directly changed the shouts made by the offensive troops.

When Kuramori Gongren heard the sound, he changed his color slightly and said with a pale face: "Bagaya Road, order the attacking troops to be sure to wipe out the Chinese defenders on the top of the mountain, so that no one of them could escape the net." Thinking of his great Japanese Imperial Army, he could not even capture such a small mountain that was less than a thousand Chinese troops defended. Nearly 300 imperial warriors were sacrificed, and hundreds of others were injured, Kuramori Gongren became even more annoyed.

Just now, news came from the 116th Infantry Regiment that once the Tianma Peak was captured, it wiped out the Chinese defenders on the top of the mountain. This made Colonel Kuramori even more angry. He was so angry that he directly put all his troops into the attack this time, trying to fight and achieve full success.

The chief of staff next to "Hai" quickly lowered his head and responded, turned around and ordered another adjutant. The adjutant lowered his head and then turned around to take the order and left.

After watching the adjutant leave, the Chief of Staff of the Japanese turned to Colonel Cangmori and said, "On the Corps Captain, as long as we capture Fengyang Gorge, we can cross the Huai River and then directly attack Xuzhou to achieve the great strategic goal of opening up the battlefields in the north and south."

Gong Ren nodded thoughtfully, and secretly made up his mind that he must lead the 58th Infantry Regiment to be the first to invade Xuzhou, the important city of Central Plains in China. As long as he makes such great military achievements, his promotion will be hopeful.

At this time, the offensive and defensive sides had opened fire on the top of the mountain, and various gunfires were intertwined. Although the Japanese had a large number of troops, the mountain road was narrow and rugged, so it was impossible to fully unfold.

The officers and soldiers of the security regiment were very excited because of Chu Jingming's lead. They all picked up weapons and fired hard. For a moment, the fierce battle entered a stalemate.

However, the security team soon had a dangerous situation. After days of bloody battles, their ammunition was consumed very strongly. Since the rear path had been cut off, there was no way to replenish it.

When the fierce battle was intensified, the soldiers who were shooting wildly were exhausted one after another.

"There are no bullets in the pedestal."

"I don't have bullets anymore."

The warriors' anxious voices came one after another.

Chu Jingming shot out the last bullet in the chamber, held the rifle tightly, stood up and yelled: "Everyone is fighting against the Japanese devils with bayonets."

"Battleman" The first bayonet commander Xie Shan immediately opened his throat and conveyed the order. In an instant, hundreds of surviving security regiment officers and soldiers took out the bright bayonet with a cold expression and put it on the gun.

After looking around, Chu Jingming said sternly: Before he finished speaking, he jumped out of the trench and rushed forward.

"Kill and Kill" hundreds of soldiers responded in unison, and roared out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese.

Hundreds of soldiers jumped out of the trench like a flood that broke through the dam, and rushed towards the Japanese attacking troops with the sound of a tiger going down the mountain.

The Japanese, who had just been blocked by the firepower of the Chinese army, saw that the Chinese army suddenly stopped shooting, but instead jumped out of the trenches to launch a counterattack on their side. A commander was not worried but happy when he saw this, and waved his command knife: "Kill Gaga"

With the order of the Japanese commander, thousands of Japanese soldiers stopped shooting and rushed forward with bayonet computer 38 rifles. Compared with shooting, Japanese soldiers were more inclined to assassinate by hand because they believed that this would better reflect the bravery of a warrior.

Soon, the two people on both sides collided violently, and the sound of weapons and the howling of soldiers sounded.

Kuramori Kangmori, who was supervising the battle at the Yamashita, saw that the Chinese army actually gave up its strong position and launched a counterattack against the imperial army. He couldn't help but laugh proudly: "Yoxi, this battle will definitely be won."

"Yes, the stupid Chinese people dared to fight hand-to-hand with the Imperial Army. It was extremely stupid." The Japanese staff officer next to him nodded quickly and echoed.

"But this group of Chinese people has a commendable courage. Such soldiers are the opponents worthy of respect." Kuramori Gongren said with a deep face.

North of the Huai River, the 11th Army Command.

In the headquarters, Li Pinxian, the commander of the 11th Group, was smoking a cigarette at the map.

Li Pinxian, a native of Guangxi, has always been a capable general of the Hunan warlord Tang Shengzhi. Later, after Tang Shengzhi lost power because of his opposition to Chiang Kai-shek, he first fled to Hong Kong, and later was invited by Li and Bai, the new Guangxi group, to come out to take charge of the army again. In recent years, he has gradually grown into an important figure second only to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in the New Guangxi group.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he first led the 45th Army to participate in the Battle of Shanghai, and later promoted to commander of the 11th Army, responsible for the defense of the Huaihe River Basin.

The person who commanded the Battle of Xuzhou this time was his immediate superior, Li Zongren. The task given to him was to join forces with the 21st Army and several other troops to block the Japanese army in the south of the Huaihe River, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the battle on the battlefield on the northern front of Xuzhou.

However, this time the Japanese army came in full force, and its combat power was far beyond the expectations of Li Pinxian and others. The south bank of the Huai River only resisted it for less than three days and then fell one after another. This made Li Pinxian not worry.

After pondering for a moment, Li Pinxian turned his head and asked an adjutant behind him, "Adminton Wang, how is the front line? Have the Japanese army started crossing the river and attacking our north bank position?"

The adjutant of the staff shook his head and replied: "Not yet. I heard that there are two regiments on the south bank fighting desperately, so the Japanese army has not been able to completely occupy our position on the south bank."

"Oh? There are two groups resisting? Why didn't they retreat to the north shore?" Li Pinxian asked in surprise.

"As far as you know, these two regiments are troops left behind by the front line command center," replied the adjutant of the staff.

"This is how." Li Pinxian felt a little regretful when he heard this, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Check for me. The numbers of these two regiments can fight alone until now. It's really a good thing to check for me. Which bastard left the troops with such strong combat power on the south bank as cannon fodder."

The front-line troops retreated north. Although Li Pinxian had left some troops to cover the main force's retreat, the specific troops left and how many troops were left were decided by the military chiefs of the front-line military divisions. Naturally, he, the commander of the army, could not have known so clearly.

"Yes," the adjutant of the staff stepped forward and turned around and left.

A moment later, the adjutant of the staff returned and saluted Li Pinxian and said, "Master, I have found out that the two infantry regiments that are still on the south bank are still the 41st regiment from the Shandong Army, and the other is a security regiment in Yingzhou, northern Anhui. In addition, Bei Zhi called the frontier observation post just now, and they reported that the position of the 41st regiment on the other side seems to have been captured by the Japanese army, and now the security regiment in Yingzhou is still left on the south bank."

"What? Can a security team last until now?" Li Pinxian was shocked when he heard this, and paced back and forth in the headquarters anxiously, and suddenly said: "Tell the frontier troops to find a way to support this security team and bring them back no matter what. For such troops, I must cultivate them carefully. Sooner or later, I will become an elite soldier, an elite soldier belonging to me." The reason why Li Pinxian had this idea was not just because of the heroic performance of the security team, but more because this security team did not belong to any faction, just like an unmanned girl. Whoever got on first will be his own.

As long as he can leave some seeds for this regiment, especially the commander of this regiment, Li Pinxian can replenish the regiment's troops within one day. He believes that as long as he uses a little means, all the officers and soldiers of this regiment will definitely devote themselves to their loyalty and use them for their own purposes.

After all, Li Pinxian was born into an old warlord and eagerly hoped to have his own armed force.

However, his idea was good. The adjutant of the staff looked down with a heavy expression and said, "Master, I'm afraid it won't work. The Japanese army has captured most of the positions on the South Bank. The current situation is that many troops have been sent into it. There is no doubt that there will be no return. And maybe the security regiment will be wiped out, so we can't make a mistake to get in for this remnant."

As soon as the adjutant of the staff finished speaking, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded behind him. The two of them quickly turned their heads and saw a communication soldier running in panting.

As soon as he approached, the communications soldier quickly stood up and reported to Li Pinxian: "The chief executive, the frontier reported that a friendly army was crossing the river."

"What?" Li Pinxian was shocked when he heard this, and quickly raised his hand and signaled: "What the hell is going on? What kind of friendly forces? Where did they come from?"

"Reporting to the Chief Executive, the frontier reported that a large armored force arrived at the ferry not long ago. Now its infantry are quickly crossing the river, as if they want to rush to rescue our trapped troops on the south bank." The correspondent replied hurriedly.

"I asked, which army they are? What is the number of troops? Who gave them the order to cross the river privately?"|Li Pinxian was furious when he saw that the communications soldiers were incomplete.

"They are the National Salvation Army in northern Anhui, and they are the original Hu Ben Brigade..." The communications soldier hurriedly answered in fear.

ps: The second update is here, brothers, there are so few recommendation votes this week. Although I ran naked this week, it wouldn't be so miserable. I didn't even have the military category recommendation list. At least we have eight or nine thousand collections, so I didn't say anything. I asked you all for some recommendation votes in tears. This thing is not expensive. I hope everyone will not forget to throw a few pictures after reading it. Qiu Feng is very grateful.
