    Lieutenant General Shin Yuemon, the commander of the 107th Division on the eastern front, was extremely conceited and save face, which made the first and second detachments of the Kwantung Army on the central line pay the price. In the direction of Wulu Town on the eastern front  , encountered successive fierce attacks by the independent division troops, and after losing troops and generals, Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon felt that he had lost face and did not inform the neighboring troops of the situation encountered by his leading unit, the 21st Brigade.

    Otherwise, the Kwantung Army troops advancing in the middle will not be rampaging unsuspectingly. As if entering an uninhabited country, the ambush the second detachment is now suffering is entirely the result of the lack of communication of battlefield intelligence. In the direction of Wulu Town,  When fireworks were everywhere and the sound of artillery was loud, the two detachments of the Kwantung Army in the middle had no idea that the 107th Division on the eastern front had already fought against the blocking troops of the Independent Division.

    A sudden ambush, intensive firepower, and roaring shells suddenly enveloped the unprepared Kwantung Army's second detachment of more than 9,000 people in a dense fire net, which was already close to the edge of Guiyunhua Town.  Before the search squadron could form a formation, they were hit by a heavy rain of light and heavy machine gun and submachine gun bullets. Countless bullets intertwined into a fire net, beating a squadron of Kwantung Army soldiers to pieces and splattering blood.

    Major General Asayama issued the order to retreat. In this case, it was not the time to show the bravery of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army, the "Flower of the Army" of the empire. In fact, there was no need for Major General Asayama to issue the order to retreat. The officers of the Kwantung Army at all levels who were experienced in the battlefield  Understand that this battle cannot be fought. The independent division troops are already prepared and ambush.  At least there were about three wings, and there was frightening firepower, probably hundreds of light and heavy machine guns.  Hundreds of mortars and dozens of medium-caliber artillery, all heading towards him?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  The choking smell of gunpowder smoke spread across the valley, followed by a mortar shell.  An explosion occurred near Major General Asayama, blowing away several staff officers at the detachment headquarters. At this time, Major General Asayama dismounted.  Then ride on the big horse.  That is the most obvious target. Your Majesty, a major general with rich combat experience, would you make such a low-level mistake?

    In the valley leading to the north of Guiyunhua Town, artillery shells rumbled and bullets flew like rain. The second detachment of the Kwantung Army retreated in embarrassment, leaving corpses everywhere. The commander of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the Marine Corps,  Commander of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the 29th Corps.  Two old classmates from Dingbian Military Academy were discussing on the walkie-talkie.  "The little Japanese has been beaten to the point where he has no power to fight back. He is retreating in embarrassment. We have an absolute advantage in terms of firepower. How can we miss such an opportunity? Who said that interception and pursuit cannot be carried out? Just chase him!  "

    As a result, the two daring regiment commanders immediately issued orders to charge and pursue their respective troops. In an instant, more than 7,000 independent division soldiers in the ambush positions on the peaks on both sides rushed down the mountain like a roaring tsunami.  , chasing the seven or eight thousand men of the second detachment of the Kwantung Army who were retreating in a panic. Thousands of submachine guns sprayed hot metal projectiles from their muzzles. In the narrow valley, they fired a bullet denser than a heavy rain.  rain.

    There were constant reports of Eastern Army soldiers screaming and falling to the ground. However, after all, the Kwantung Army was an elite division that was well-trained and had been fighting the Soviet army in the Far East for more than half a year. In an extremely passive situation, the lower-level officers,  Showing extremely high tactical literacy, he used the squadron as a unit to alternately cover and establish a blocking line without waiting for an order from the detachment headquarters, which slowed down the pursuit of the independent division troops.

    More than an hour later, the independent division troops of the two regiments drove the second detachment of the Kwantung Army to the mountainous area of ????Sundagou, nearly 20 kilometers away from the blocking line of Guiyunhua Town. Along the pursuit, Kwantung Army soldiers laid their bodies on the ground.  Tired and tired, it was not until the second detachment of the Kwantung Army established a blocking line that the two regiment commanders issued the order to retreat and returned to the Guiyunhua defense line.

    The results of the battle were tallied up. In an ambush battle, more than 2,000 Japs were killed. Moreover, there was an unexpected gain. The baggage detachment of the second detachment of the Kwantung Army, weighed down by a large number of baggage, could not outrun those combat troops. The pursuit process  Among them, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army were suddenly surrounded by soldiers and were beaten hard. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army's baggage troop, who were only equipped with 38-type rifles and pistols, were the opponents of the soldiers of the independent division carrying submachine guns. In terms of strength, they were also  The difference is huge.

    After killing a large baggage detachment of the Kwantung Army, the soldiers were happy when they were cleaning the battlefield. Although the boxes of ammunition were despising, it was equivalent to cutting off the logistical supplies of the little devils. There were a large number of Japanese cans, and they were very curious.  The strong soldiers pried it open and tasted it, but they all felt that the taste was not very good. It was very different from our marching rations. Also, what good things can the little devils tinker with?

    Bags of snow-white rice, this is a good thing. In line with the principle of not wasting, the two group leaders waved their hands, "Send them all back! We won't eat canned food,"It can be given to the common people!  Tonight we all have a snack of rice!  The soldiers discussed happily, "This battle was successful. Not only did we kill more than two thousand Japs, but we also cut off their bullets and food!"  These bastards need to be hungry!  "

    After retreating to the defense area of ??Guiyunhua Town, the two regiment commanders reported the ambush outside Guiyunhua Town to their respective superiors, Major General Xiao Jinting, commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Marine Corps, and Major General Guo Zhenmin, commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 29th Corps.  war situation.

    After reading the telegram, the two brigade commanders were startled into cold sweats. These two guys were too bold. It made sense that the blocking battle turned into an ambush battle, but the subsequent pursuit battle was a bit suspenseful. In Kanto  The right wing of the second detachment of the army, which is more than 20 kilometers away, is the first detachment of the Kwantung Army, with more than 9,000 people. If this part of the Kwantung Army outflanks from the flank, it is not certain who will hit whom?

    "Adventure! Be bold!" Xiao Jinting and Guo Zhenmin, who were dozens of kilometers apart, had these words pop up in their minds almost at the same time. Following that, two telegrams with similar contents were sent to the two heads of the Guiyunhua Town Defense Force.  In his hand, the general meaning was, "I am sure of the results of the battle, and the way of fighting the ambush was very beautiful, but I severely criticized the subsequent pursuit battle. The merits were balanced by the faults. I neither criticized nor praised, and will never allow it to happen again!"  "

    The second detachment of the Kwantung Army, which had retreated to the front line of Sundagou, reorganized the troops. Major General Qianshan, the leader of the detachment, was about to cry. In less than three hours of fighting, the second detachment lost more than 4,000 people. Among them, Yu Shai  More than 2,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 people were injured. The second detachment, which had only a strength of more than 9,000 people, suffered more than half of its casualties. What's more terrible is that it lost all its baggage, ammunition and food. Now, the soldiers have nothing but what they carry with them.  Besides the rice dumplings, I started to feel hungry after the next meal.

    The most important thing is that the detachment's field hospital was beaten to pieces and all the medicines and medical equipment were lost. The wounded had no medicine to treat them and had to wait to die. The area near Sundagou was almost turned into an outcrop hospital. Listen,  The wounded soldiers wailed low and loudly. Major General Asayama, who was extremely depressed, sat on a rock with a gray face. He first sent a telegram to Major General Narita, the leader of the first detachment on the right, asking Narita-kun to reinforce him. The strength of the troops was secondary.  , mainly ammunition and food, as well as medicine and military doctors.

    Major General Narita's call back made the hopeful Major General Asayama stunned, "Asayama-kun, my first detachment was fiercely blocked by the independent division troops in the direction of Buyun Mountain. Because the enemy's artillery fire was very fierce and the troops suffered heavy casualties.  A large number of wounded soldiers need medical treatment. Now, they are forced to retreat to the front line of Lijiatun. The detachment's heavy troops are severely delayed due to the difficulty of traveling on the mountain road. It is difficult to keep up with the supplies for a while. Please forgive me, Mr. Qianshan! "

    In other words, the life of Narita's first detachment is no better than his own. They are too busy to take care of themselves and can't do anything to help them. Major General Asayama paused for a while and dictated a message to report the situation encountered by the second detachment.  It was given to General Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army who commanded operations in Liaoyang.

    In the telegram, Major General Asayama asked for troops, ammunition, food, and even artillery. The second detachment was secretly transferred from the Liaoxi Corridor area to the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield. At that time, Nanjiro was still the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. In order to  The Feng Jiwu Corps of the Independent Division in the western Liaoning area was not alarmed. They were all lightly armed and their heavy weapons were not used at all. The entire second detachment only had dozens of mortars and a number of light and heavy machine guns.

    As a member of the Kwantung Army, Major General Narita felt uncomfortable with what happened to the Asakayama detachment, but he was helpless. Although the first detachment was not ambushed, the independent division troops that blocked the first detachment on the Buyunshan front line,  When he was completely unprepared, a heavy artillery shell came down. The shelling was so fierce that it almost killed more than half of the first detachment marching in a ravine.

    According to Major General Narita's estimate, the independent division's defense force used at least one field artillery regiment, plus the artillery fire of two mountain artillery regiments, to deal with his troops of no more than 9,000 people. Without any warning, they fired with overwhelming artillery shells.  Therefore, Major General Narita came to the conclusion that he did not know what the situation was in other directions. On the Buyun Mountain front line, at least the main force of the independent division was blocking him!

    Therefore, Major General Narita, like Major General Asayama, was advancing the first detachment in the middle, but was strongly blocked by the independent division, causing heavy casualties. Moreover, the independent division had a large number of artillery, and he had to order the troops to retreat.  The situation was reported to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu.

    On the western front, the 109th Division, advancing from Gaizhou to Bayuquan, was the last main force of the Japanese army to fight against the independent division's blocking force. The opponent the 109th Division encountered was the independent division's 1st  Troops of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd brigades of the XXIX Corps.
