    Zhang Xian did not expect that the plan to capture the cave entrance would go so smoothly.

    Yu Changle led a company to launch an attack at the enemy's Tongzishan position. He first sent a platoon to get under the Japanese gun tower while it was dark, and then launched a sudden attack.  There was only one Japanese team on duty at this position, and it was dark when night came, so it was impossible to tell how many national troops were entering the battle, so they were defeated without much resistance and retreated towards the entrance of the cave.

    At the same time, the siege force led by Deputy Commander Xiao also attacked the Japanese watchtower at the gate of the city. At this time, according to the predetermined plan, Lei Lei led the troops who had sneaked into the city to attack at the same time and released a bomb in the city.  The fire came and burned down a Japanese baggage warehouse. Only two squadrons of Japanese soldiers were left guarding the city. They went to put out the fire, which gave everyone an opportunity. In this way, there was a fierce attack inside and outside, and the enemy  Being beaten so dizzy, the two squadrons left behind a large amount of material baggage and fled from the north, heading towards Shanmen Town.

    Yu Changle had just captured Tongzi Mountain. Just as Zhang Xian thought, the Japanese army that went to rescue the 120th Regiment turned around and launched a fierce attack on the Tongzi Mountain position regardless of darkness.  Yu Changle led a company to resist tenaciously. Because it was a surprise attack, they did not bring heavy weapons and were somewhat lacking in firepower. Seeing that they were about to be broken through by the enemy's squadron, the main force of the 169th Regiment led by Zhang Xian rushed in time.  arrived and launched an attack on the enemy from behind.

    This battle was another contest of great disparity in strength. The 169th Regiment completely occupied the absolute advantage. The Japanese squadron was completely surrounded, and even the way to escape was blocked. In despair, it allowed  The two to three hundred Japs decided to fight to the death in order to promote their so-called Bushido spirit, so they resisted very tenaciously, with the ambition of defeating the enemy to the death. Obviously, they also wanted Zhang Xian's 169th Regiment to pay a heavy price.

    This group of Japanese soldiers built a temporary fortification on a small hill, relying on a tall and towering camphor tree as a barrier to make their final resistance.  Zhang Xian sent two waves of commandos to attack from both sides of the hill, but they were beaten down by this team of Japanese soldiers, resulting in many casualties.  In a rage, Zhang Xian ordered his artillery to blast the hill with mortars. Regardless of his limited shells, he blew up the big camphor tree that looked like a giant in the dark into a stump.  , which reminded him of the huge holly tree on his position during the Battle of Western Hubei. But at that moment, at this moment, he could finally vent all his anger and let these little devils have a taste.  A taste of being bombed.  As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, Zhang Xian immediately organized two more commandos to rush up the hill. This time, the Japanese counterattack had lost its effect. Apparently they were also blinded by the national army's artillery fire. After several charges,  Next, their position had been cut into several pieces and they lost their complete defense capabilities.  At that moment, Zhang Xian went all out to capture the hill and wipe out all the two or three hundred Japs.

    This battle lasted until midnight. When the last gunfire stopped, everyone let out a sigh of relief.  Gao Wei was very excited. Since he joined the army, there has never been an organized squadron for destroying Japanese soldiers like today. Although this squadron only has two to three hundred people, it is a little small in number.

    After the battle, Zhang Xian immediately led the main force into Dongkou City and joined Lei Lei, Deputy Commander Xiao and others. At the same time, he arranged a company of troops to guard Tongzi Mountain to prevent the enemy from the west from raiding.  But he was still a little worried, that is, the 120th Regiment of Matsushita Seijiro who had been beaten away did not know where he was at this time. He was wondering why Matsushita Seijiro didn't come back to kill another carbine. Logically speaking, the entrance of the cave was  The fighting here is so fierce, there is no reason for him not to return to rescue.  Precisely because he was worried about the counterattack of the Panasonic Regiment, Zhang Xian asked Gao Wei to lead a battalion plus a connecting battalion to set up ambushes on both sides of the road west of Tongzi Mountain, waiting for the enemy to approach.  After all these arrangements were made, he ordered everyone to take time to rest. In his opinion, the battle the next day might be even more intense.

    It was only then that he remembered Xiong Sanwa and Wei Lengzi. Wei Lengzi took his two brothers to chase Xiong Sanwa. Why hadn't he come back by this time?  Did something happen?  Thinking of this, his heart that had just calmed down suddenly jumped again.

    ***************

    The sound of gunfire from the east came like a storm. It was obvious that Dongkou City was already in a fierce battle. Xiong Sanwa really felt a little regretful. If he hadn't been so quick to chase this dead mute, he would have also  You won't be trapped here by a little devil.

    However, Xiong Sanwa was so lucky that it was already dark, otherwise no matter how good he was in disguise, he would never be able to escape the Japanese search.  At this time, he was hiding on a tall pine tree, and he didn't dare to look at the atmosphere.?Powerful Chinese characters, and there are also two black Chinese characters on his armband - Changde, with the regimental number below.  This has clearly explained the origin of these two soldiers. Matsushita Yasujiro knew very well that they must be from the 57th Huben Division where he once stayed.

    "Which Chinese army are they from?" Wada asked his commander.

    Matsushita Seijiro was a little dumbfounded, but he still told him: "Hu Ben!"

    "Fifty-seventh Division?" Hotan has not experienced the Battle of Changde, but for the people of the 116th Division, no one does not know this name. Changde has also become a shame for the 116th Division.  In the first siege, the 116th Division was killed by the 57th Division in succession, with two regiment captains and an acting regiment captain killed.

    "Our opponent is Zhang Xian, the most famous commander of the 74th Army!" Matsushita Yasujiro told Wada that from the number of the 169th Regiment, he could already confirm this, and at the same time he felt sorry for his carelessness.  He regretted it endlessly. If he had known that Zhang Xian would sneak attack on his retreat, he would not have fallen into his ambush and wasted so long time. Maybe Dongkou City would still be in the hands of the Japanese army.

    "Then what should we do next?" Wada asked.

    Matsushita Seijiro thought for a while and said: "This Zhang Xian was able to defeat our sneak attack at the mouth of the river, and then rushed ahead of us to attack the entrance of the cave. This was a very dangerous move, but this time he won. However, if  If the 1st, 3rd and 3rd Regiments attack back, I think he is only a regiment strong and will definitely not be able to defend Dongkou City. But this man is very cunning. We will act according to the original plan and be careful not to fall into his trap again.  trick!"

    "Yes!" Wada agreed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
