    On April 30, after the 120th Regiment of the Japanese Army captured Dongkou City, they advanced along the Shaoyu Highway toward Jiangkou Town in the northwest. At the same time, the 133rd Regiment of the 116th Division to the north advanced from  Depart from Shanmen Town and head westward.  There are two forward positions of the 57th Division to the west of the cave entrance, one is Wansheng Mountain and the other is Banbian Nunnery. These two positions are defended by the 171st Regiment. They are both condescending passes, blocking the west of the 120th Regiment.  The way in.  However, the enemy's 133rd Regiment sent a brigade to bypass the positions of Wansheng Mountain and Banbian'an, and captured Yuexi Village, about 12 miles southeast of Jiangkou. They attacked from both sides, and Wansheng Mountain and Banbian'an were finally defeated.  The 20th Wing captured.  Immediately afterwards, Matsushita Yasujiro personally led his team to seize the Qingyan position eight miles southwest of Jiangkou. In this way, he controlled the north-south communication line in Xuefeng Mountain and faced off across several hills with the 169th Regiment stationed at the outer position of Jiangkou.  .  At this time, Yuexi has become the hub west of the Japanese army's cave entrance, where most of the 120th Regiment and the 133rd Regiment, with nearly 10,000 troops, have gathered.

    At this time, there was some hesitation for Hishida, the commander of the 116th Division of the Japanese Army.  The 109th Regiment in the north has been encircled by three national army divisions in the Longtan Town and Guidong areas south of Xupu, and an infantry brigade and an artillery squadron transferred from the 133rd to rescue are also there.  They were constantly resisted by the national army along the way, and the battle was fierce. Before the team of more than a thousand people reached Guidong to join the 109th Regiment, they suffered more than half of the casualties, leaving only more than 400 people.

    On the same day of April 30th, the Japanese army surrounded the three divisions of the 109th Regiment and launched an attack on the regiment. The captain of the Ryuji Regiment had to defend a ravine and relied on several high mountains around it to hold the position.  They stood firm and set up the living area at the bottom of the ditch, which was full of seriously wounded and sick Japanese soldiers.  At this moment, this arrogant captain no longer had the idea of ??breaking through the siege and continuing to cross the Xuefeng Mountains to capture Zhijiang. He only hoped that his reinforcements would arrive quickly to relieve his siege.

    So, Hisita¡¯s hesitation at this time was simply to ignore the 109th Regiment and continue to march westward to Jiangkou as originally planned?  Or should we go north from Yuexi to rescue the 109th Regiment?  This question troubled him for a long time. In desperation, he called his two captains to get the answer.

    The commander of the 133rd Regiment, Kagawa Katsunaga, and the commander of the 109th Regiment, Ry¨±dera, were classmates at the Japanese Army Military Academy. Naturally, they strongly requested to go north to rescue the 109th Regiment. They were only members of the 120th Regiment.  Captain Matsushita Seijiro said nothing.  After sending Kagawa away, when Hisoda and Matsushita were alone, Hishida asked Matsushita Seijiro: "Matsushita-kun, what do you think of Kagawa-kun's suggestion just now?"

    Matsushita Yasujiro was silent for a moment, hesitated, and then said: "My subordinates believe that it is no longer appropriate to attack Zhijiang at this time. It is better to take advantage of the situation and return. There may be room for maneuver!"

    Hishida frowned, shook his head, and sighed: "Matsushita-kun, you are so disappointing!"

    Matsushita Yasujiro smiled slightly, but asked: "I wonder how sure you are of winning, sir?"

    Lingtian was startled. It had been two weeks since the battle started. The 116th Division had only moved 150 kilometers westward from Shaoyang, which averaged only ten kilometers per day.  The difficulty of this trip has exceeded his imagination. The tenacious resistance of the national army on the road, the heavy casualties he suffered, as well as the high war weariness and low morale of the soldiers were all factors that he, the division commander, had experienced since entering the war.  , has never been experienced before. Indeed, as the Matsushita Colonel in front of him said, which did not make him happy, if this battle continues, there is no hope of victory at all.  But as the division commander, he must carry out the orders from the top without any reason. Even if he withdraws his troops, he must wait for orders from above.  At that moment, he said solemnly and resolutely: "As an imperial soldier, you can only fight to the death by moving forward, and never retreat without a living!"

    "Yes!" Matsushita Seijiro replied, but he felt bitter in his heart. He thought that if the division commander in front of him was General Iwa Wing, he might listen to his opinion.

    Lingtian finally made the decision to use the 133th Regiment to attack north from Yuexi, pass through Zhaping and Yanwan, and attack Longtan Town in Xupu County to break the siege of the 109th Regiment.  At the same time, the 120th Regiment was ordered to continue advancing northwest along the highway and capture Jiangkou Town.  The division headquarters still operates with the 133th Regiment.

    When he received Hishida¡¯s decision, Matsushita Yasujiro let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt like a hero in his twilight years.

    *************

    Zhang Xian accompanied General Wang Hui while walking and chatting. This was really a great honor for most senior generals. Even Commander Shi of the 74th Army and Commander Zhang of the 57th Division only had  can follow behind them, and those high-rankingCommander, you go ahead and make arrangements, we'll talk about it later.  "

    "Yes!" Zhang Xian replied, leading Xiong Sanwa around.

    However, after a while, Zhang Xian turned back, came to General Wang Hui, and said to him: "Jun Zuo, are you interested in seeing how our 169th Regiment can eliminate these Japanese?"

    "Oh, good!" Wang Hui replied matter-of-factly. Not only him, but Lei Lei, Yu Changle and others who came with him were also very excited.

    "Junzuo, I think we'll talk about it later!" Commander Shi said authentically behind Wang Hui. He was worried that his commander would be in danger. After all, this is not a viewing platform, but a real frontline battlefield. Here, bullets  Both cannonballs and cannons have no eyes. If there is a delay, he, the commander of the army, will not be able to eat and walk away.

    Wang Hui looked at Zhang Xian, but Zhang Xian smiled and said with assurance: "Jin Zuo, I guarantee your safety, and you can see the heroic fighting of our soldiers up close and clearly, and you can also  See the Japanese escaping in embarrassment!"

    Zhang Linfu couldn't help but frowned. He, the division commander, didn't dare to say that he could win a battle, but this little regiment leader dared to brag in front of his superiors. If he failed to repel the enemy, but allowed him to defeat him, he would be a loser.  , and now kindly reminded Zhang Xian: "Captain Zhang, war is not a child's play. Don't talk nonsense until the result comes out!"

    Zhang Xian looked at him, but he was confident: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely win this battle today!"

    Since their subordinates were so confident, Zhang Linfu and Commander Shi could not say more.  Wang Hui nodded matter-of-factly and said with great pride: "Okay, today I'm going to take you all to see how our little regiment leader beat the shit out of the enemy!"
