    Since he completely believed that the 177th Division in front of him was at the end of its war effort, Harada Kumayoshi felt relieved and ordered the troops to pursue them all the way.

    In fact, neither Harada Kumayoshi nor Yoshida Minetaro noticed that the troops that had been fighting them were not the entire 177th Division at all, but just a brigade of the 177th Division.

    This is of course because the organization of the Ninth Army is different from that of the general national army. Since the National Government only gave so many numbers, Li Guoyao could only desperately increase the organization of the army, so that there were three 177th Divisions.  The brigade has a large organization of 9 infantry regiments.

    Such a huge establishment also caused Harada Xiongyoshi and others to misjudge, thinking that the Lu Ding'an Division in front of them was the main force of the 177th Division. However, they did not know that there were three infantry brigades in the 177th Division like this.

    Because he did not know the situation, the confident Harada Kumagi did not even send the leading troops, and directly let the cavalry regiment chase in front, with the chariot regiment in the middle, and the infantry regiment followed closely behind the artillery regiment in cars. The entire army was vast.  It stretches for three to four kilometers.

    Of course, the performance of Lu Ding'an's troops was also another key to the Japanese army being fooled.

    In order to escape for their lives, they threw away their weapons, equipment and baggage, which was rare among the national army that lacked equipment.

    Especially for elites like the Jiujiu Army, it is rare to find them in such a mess!

    The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. Lieutenant General Harada's thinking had fallen into a dead end. He was now eager to rush to the front, intercept the fleeing national troops in front, and then kill them all.

    Harada Kumayoshi, like Okamura Neji, Umezu Yoshijiro, Itagaki Seishiro and others, are all so-called China experts.

    Harada Kumakichi, who was born in Osaka Prefecture and Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, graduated from the 22nd class of the Army Sergeant School and the 28th class of the Army University. During the Taisho period, he was stationed in Peiping as an army attach¨¦ attached to the Embassy of China.  After the September 18th Incident, he served as the military attache stationed in Nanjing and the acting military attache stationed in Shanghai.

    Later, he served as the staff officer of the Kwantung Army and served as the 3rd Section Chief. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, he served as the Major General Military Attach¨¦ of the Embassy in China to handle the Shanghai Incident.

    In February of the 13th year of Showa, he was appointed as the Secret Service Chief of the Central China Expeditionary Force of the Japanese invaders. Due to his outstanding achievements during his stay in China, he was awarded the First Class Rising Sun Medal, promoted to Army Lieutenant General, and transferred to the commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army.

    Because it has always been smooth sailing, and the Japanese army is so prestigious throughout Asia, Harada has developed an arrogant character. He simply looks down on the Kuomintang and Communist troops on the Chinese battlefield, and does not realize that he and his  The troops have fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.

    In addition, it was dark at this time, and they did not realize that the road ahead was getting more and more bumpy. By the time they realized the problem, the leading troops had already plunged into the valley east of Masikou.

    However, Harada Kumonaki did not order the troops to stop advancing. Instead, he ordered the troops in front to speed up and pass through the valley at full speed.

    In his opinion, the Chinese army is already a lost dog, so it still has the courage to ambush them here.

    Of course, this has a lot to do with Harada Kumonaki¡¯s lack of understanding of the terrain in this area.

    Harada Xiongyoshi and his 35th Division have always been stationed in eastern Henan. The division headquarters is in Kaifeng. They have no experience in fighting northward and do not know that thousands of Japanese elites are buried in this large valley in Masikou.  Troops and even a major general were killed here.

    If he had known this, he might not have come in so arrogantly!

    On the ambush position in the valley, Zhang Tengjiao was looking eagerly at the sound of horse hooves below. This was the sound of the Japanese cavalry unit advancing.

    The Japanese cavalry regiment was the main force chasing Lu Ding'an's troops. Since the opponents were all cavalry, Lu Ding'an had to leave a large number of rear troops to block the opponent. This night, no less than five Chinese soldiers died at the hands of this cavalry regiment.  Hundreds of people.

    Like Harada Xiongyoshi, the Japanese cavalry captain believed that the Chinese army had lost its will to fight, so he did not realize the danger at all and rushed into the valley along the footprints left by Lu Ding'an's troops.

    But these Japanese cavalry never discovered that there were a large number of National Army armed to the teeth ambushed on the cliffs on both sides of them. As long as Zhang Tengjiao was willing, under an order, this cavalry regiment was like what the National Army was talking about.  Fatty meat can be eaten at any time.

    "But Zhang Tengjiao's target is the entire 35th Division. How could it be ruined by a cavalry regiment of more than a thousand people?"

    Immediately ordered the troops to pay attention to concealment, let go of the stubborn cavalry regiment, and prepare to attack the chariot troops and infantry behind.

    This section of the mountainIt is five kilometers long, and in order to win this battle, Zhang Tengjiao specially arranged all the remaining 20,000 people in the division here, so Zhang Tengjiao was very calm.

    When he saw the last Japanese convoy entering the valley, Zhang Tengjiao let out a long breath, and then escaped from the signal gun!

    ¡°Bang bang bang!!!¡±

    As the trigger was pulled, three flares instantly rose into the sky, illuminating the dark night sky.

    The moment the signal flare took off, the national army soldiers ambushing on both sides directly triggered the mines on the ground!

    ¡°Rumble¡­¡±

    ¡°Rumble¡­¡±

    Knowing that the kid had a lot of tanks this time, Zhang Tengjiao directly ordered the troops to take out all the explosives in stock, two thousand explosive packs and five hundred mines. This was a luxurious supper prepared by Zhang Tengjiao for the kid.

    The violent explosion quickly broke the tranquility of the night. Only then did the little devils in the valley realize the danger, but it was too late.

    Each chariot, each war horse, and each Japanese soldier was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, panicked, but with no way to go to the sky or any door to the earth.

    At the same time as the landmines exploded, the national army officers and soldiers ambushed on both sides also opened fire with grenades and light and heavy machine guns constantly greeting the Japanese troops.

    At the same time, the two battalions of national troops at the front and rear entrances of the valley rushed down to seal the mouth, and then surrounded the entire main force of the 35th Division in the five-kilometer narrow valley.

    Harada Kumayoshi knew he was in trouble the moment the flare went off. This is almost a professional habit. Seeing the flare in the middle of the night is definitely not a good thing.

    Sure enough, when the signal flare sounded, his troops were also ambushed by a group of people.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT OFFICE

    Even if the other party has the appetite, do they have the teeth?

    This is not an infantry squad of dozens of people, but a powerful field division with two complete infantry regiments, plus one regiment each of cavalry, artillery and chariot troops.

    Not to mention the powerful force of more than 11,000 men, the hundreds of chariots alone are not something that can be shaken by that person.

    However, the next development was far beyond his expectation. When the ground shook and the explosion sounded, those seemingly powerful tanks were blown away one by one as if they were made of paper.  Got out.

    The bombed tanks were stacked on top of each other, directly blocking the originally narrow road in the valley. The surviving tanks inside suddenly had no room to move and could only be used as mobile turrets.

    As for the cavalry and artillery regiments, they suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the battle, especially the cavalry regiment. The huge target directly made them the targets of the infantry. Light and heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and Japanese cavalry and war horses were knocked down in large numbers.  Like a chopped leek.

    Harada Xiongyoshi immediately ordered the troops around him not to mess up, and at the same time organized the troops to withdraw along the original route, but soon found that the entrance to the valley had been blocked.

    Out of anger, Lieutenant General Harada immediately organized his troops to charge towards the mountain entrance.

    Lieutenant General Harada knew very well that compared to the front exit, the rear entrance was more suitable for a breakout, because they didn't know what the situation was like in the front, but there was definitely no army behind, as long as they could defeat the army at the entrance  , they still have a chance to break through.
