    What Harada Xiongji can think of, Zhang Tengjiao can also think of, because no matter how cunning the fox is, he can't calculate the hunter's wisdom.

    Since Zhang Tengjiao can use the reinforced brigade as bait to lure the little devils into being fooled, he has the courage and strength to completely annihilate the opponent.

    Zhang Tengjiao deployed two infantry battalions at each end of the valley.

    Although it looks like there are only two camps, at such an entrance that is less than 200 meters wide, it is difficult to deploy one camp, let alone two camps.

    Moreover, in order to enhance the firepower of the blockade troops, Zhang Tengjiao added a machine gun company to both sides, so the troops blocking the valley deployed more than 20 light and heavy machine guns on the front line alone. In order to attack the little devil's tank troops, Zhang Tengjiao also deployed all the machine guns.  The few anti-aircraft machine guns in the department are also arranged on this line.

    In a small area, any detours, side attacks, or any other messy tactics will have no effect. In such an environment, the only thing that matters is who has the stronger firepower and whose fists are bigger.

    And the national army, whose firepower had been greatly enhanced, was obviously not afraid of the Japs' charge. No matter how large numbers of Japanese troops continued to charge without fear of death, the mouth of the valley remained as unmoving as a reef in the big waves.

    Three consecutive group charges failed. Seeing that the entire valley entrance was filled with dense corpses, Harada Xiongyoshi's heart began to feel cold.

    Just now, he put several tanks that had finally started to move into the battle. As a result, although those tanks caused some trouble to the defenders, they were quickly destroyed by the opponent's mysterious weapons.

    The Japanese troops in the valley were stunned by the sudden attack. All Japanese officers, including Lieutenant General Harada, realized the seriousness of the matter.

    They are all commanders with rich combat experience. There are hundreds of firepower points emerging from both sides of the valley alone. Even if a firepower point only has one machine gun, there are at least hundreds of light and heavy machine guns on both sides.

    According to their understanding of the national army's firepower, most of the national army's infantry divisions only have thirty light and heavy machine guns. The situation of the direct line of the Chiang Kai-shek Army is better. A company can basically reach eight to nine, and a division can only have one hundred.  More than twenty.

    In other words, the army ambushing on both sides of the valley has at least three divisions.

    Counting the 177th Division that was defeated by them, it means that Li Guoyao's troops deployed at least four to five divisions on the Zhangjiakou front line, not one and a half divisions as the intelligence said.

    In addition to the light and heavy machine guns, the dense artillery shells falling from the sky proved that this was definitely the main force of the army. There were at least two artillery regiments with such powerful artillery fire. This should be the main force of the Ninth Army.

    Thinking that his division was surrounded by the main force of Li Guoyao's troops in this narrow valley, Harada Xiongyoshi couldn't sit still. He knew the strong record of Li Guoyao's troops.

    The number of Army divisions that were lost to this force was not just one or two. The 26th Division not long ago and the 17th Division before that were all examples of this, and the 35th Division was not far behind.

    In view of this, Harada Xiongyoshi immediately ordered the radio operators to send reports to Zhangjiakou and Peiping, reporting the situation and requesting reinforcements.

    Of course, even if they ask for help, they can't sit still and wait for death. They must save themselves.

    After the telegram for help was sent, Harada Kumonaki once again organized soldiers to charge, trying to capture a section of the gentle slope. As long as some of the force rushed out to contain the national army, the pressure on the troops in the encirclement could be reduced a lot.

    Unfortunately, although the gentle slope is not very high, the firepower on the left and right sides is very fierce. The soldiers of the two squadrons that Harada Kumayoshi finally gathered were hit by dense bullets from both sides just as they rushed to the top of the slope less than 20 meters away.  down.

    When the gunfire stopped, less than one-fifth of the more than two hundred elite soldiers were left, and the rest were all killed and wounded.

    Hiding behind the wreckage of a tank from a distance, Harada Kumonaki witnessed the charge with his own eyes. The overwhelming bullets made him tremble all over.

    It¡¯s too scary. Even the Type-A division of the Imperial Japanese Army is inferior to such powerful firepower.

    Coupled with the artillery shells falling from the sky from time to time, the Chinese army has taught Lieutenant General Harada a lesson.

    Lieutenant General Harada did not know that Zhang Tengjiao had spent a lot of money in order to win this battle.

    Not only did he take out all the ammunition hoarded by his troops, he also specially approved 5,000 rounds of artillery shells and 20,000 kilograms of gunpowder from Li Guoyao, all of which are now used on the 35th Division.

    It can be imagined that in such a long and narrow area, with so much energy to be poured out, the power that explodes is absolutely beyond imagination.

      And based on past ambush experience, Zhang Tengjiao ordered the frontline troops to prepare 100,000 grenades. After the battle started, these grenades also caused huge losses to the Japanese army.

    As soon as the battle began, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and the entire valley was filled with wailing and explosions.

    Lieutenant General Harada now regrets that even his intestines are green. In less than half an hour, only about half of his troops were beaten. Fortunately, there are many car and tank wrecks in the valley. Otherwise, these people  There is not even a hiding place, so it will only be a matter of time before they are completely wiped out.

    The only good thing about the outsourcing is that since the signal corps usually operates together with the division and regiment headquarters, the level of protection is very high, so the radio station is still intact until now.

    With the radio station here, external communications will not be interrupted. Whether it is in the direction of Zhangjiakou or Peiping, we will pay close attention to the developments here.

    Lieutenant General Harada couldn't care less about saving face at this time. Less than half an hour after the first telegram was sent, the second telegram asking for help was sent out again.

    Unlike the first telegram, which reported more information and explained where they were ambushed, the second telegram had only one purpose and one core, which was to ask for help.

    At the same time, Harada Kumonaki also explained to the direction of Peiping that his unit had suffered heavy losses, the enemy's firepower was extremely fierce, and there was little hope of a breakout. He hoped that the division commander would give him immediate and powerful combat guidance.

    When they received the telegram from Harada Kumayoshi asking for help, both the Japanese headquarters in Zhangjiakou and Peiping were stunned.

    ¡°Neither Ganpa Jutaro nor Okamura Neji expected that Harada Xiongyoshi would take the initiative to launch an attack on Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters, and even go deep hundreds of miles alone.

    You must know that the combat order they issued before was for their 35th Division to coordinate with the independent 8th Brigade to defend the situation. As for the counterattack, it was an action after the troops from other directions were assembled. There was no plan to counterattack for the time being.

    But Harada Kumayoshi launched a counterattack without notifying the Mongolian Army and the North China Front Army Headquarters. Now the lone army was deeply surrounded, which made Okamura Neji and Ganpa Jutaro scold their mothers in anger.

    At present, all Japanese troops are gathering at the original combat location. When Li Guoyao's troops are attacking Zhangjiakou, Okamura Neiji is also planning to seize the Sui-Cha area and open up the Ping-Sui Railway.

    Both sides are plotting against each other's defense zone, so Okamura Neji simply doesn't have any extra troops.

    Not to mention the troops stationed in Mongolia. The originally small troops had been combined with the independent Eighth Brigade and were eliminated in the battles in the past few days. At present, there are only three thousand troops in Zhangjiakou City, plus Wanquan City.  There are more than a thousand remnant soldiers inside.

    But the 35th Division is the main defender in the direction of Zhangjiakou. Once it is wiped out, the consequences will be disastrous.

    More importantly, if the Harada Division is annihilated by the Chinese army, Zhangjiakou and the city of Peiping will be within the gun range of Li Guoyao's troops, so reinforcements must be provided no matter what.

    After thinking about it again and again, Okamura Neiji immediately ordered the troops in Zhangjiakou City and the remnants of the independent eighth brigade to form a reinforcement force and immediately went to Mashikou for reinforcements.

    At the same time, the Fifth Independent Brigade stationed in Xuanhua was ordered to rush to Zhangjiakou immediately.

    Then Okamura Neiji personally sent a report to Harada Kumakichi's headquarters, telling them that reinforcements had set off and were expected to take four hours to arrive, and asked them to hold on no matter what.

    But Okamura Neiji did not expect that at this moment, a powerful cavalry had already moved south from Nanhaoqian Town, north of Zhangjiakou, and its target was the important town of Xuanhua.
