Li Yunlong was shocked by hosting the independent group at the beginning

But he did not relax his guard, and continued to mobilize troops to the front, and drove the belated artillery troops into the forward position.

Once the war resumes, Sasaki is confident that he will break through the blocking line of the Chinese army within an hour, reach Dongshanling and get in touch with the West Village Brigade.

In the distance, Miyamoto breathed a sigh of relief. His West Village brigade seemed to be saved, and his future was preserved. Ishikawa smiled proudly.

He then sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Nanyun, the head of the First Tank Division, to speed up his march and must reach Shiqiao Town, [-] kilometers north of Xiayi, within two days, and from there directly hit the rear of the Chinese army surrounding the Xicun Brigade. , We must wipe out this force.

At the same time, the Hashimoto Infantry Independent Wing stationed at Shiqiao was ordered to move quickly to the area of ​​Beiwang Town, and the Dongxiang Brigade quickly moved to the area of ​​Liujiazhuang to cut off the movement route of the Huaxia Army to Shangqiu.

In an instant, the situation was reversed, and the enemy's tank division, three brigades and an independent wing surrounded them from all directions.

Even if his army is no longer obsessed with fighting in Dongshanling, and the two brigades of Nishimura and Sasaki are moving towards Shangqiu, they have already fallen into a terrible encirclement. Could it be said that the last moment of the new Houyi division has come?

Li Feng did not intend to abide by the armistice agreement, and neither did the enemy bandits.

But once the attack is stopped, it is obvious that it will be more powerful against the enemy. The Xicun brigade is like a nail firmly inserted in the heart of his army. If the nail is not pulled out, the new Hou Yi Division may be completely wiped out by the enemy. Dongshan Ridge.

However, if we continue to attack Dongshanling, if the West Village Brigade cannot be eaten, they will be encircled and eaten by the enemy troops who rushed over quickly. The truce gave the West Village Brigade a chance to survive.

It also gave the new Houyi division another chance to fight again. Li Feng ordered the commanders of the troops to quickly withdraw the wounded from their positions. Some of the seriously wounded were left for the local people to hide for treatment and protected by Chen Luogeng's brigade.

The front line must be concealed and camouflaged, and the enemy must not be able to see that the troops have retreated. Otherwise, once the enemy follows and attacks, the casualties of other troops will be uncountable. In this way, the battle of Dongshanling came to an end.

The main result of the Battle of Dongshanling, which lasted three days and two nights and was called the Battle of Dongshanling by the enemy's war history, was that the enemy's West Village Brigade lost its offensive ability for half a year after the battle.

The Nishimura Brigade and the Sasaki Brigade that participated in the battle had 3000 people killed, 960 killed, 730 wounded, and 190 and [-] people missing.

华夏军队参战的新后羿师和八路军陈罗庚旅2万两千人阵亡四千100人，负伤两千560八人，失踪220四人，伤亡结果是1.14：1。

It was a rare battle during the Anti-Japanese War that the Huaxia army, which was obviously inferior to the enemy and had no air support, was able to fight the enemy. The result of such a battle was obviously beneficial to the Huaxia army.

Now that the enemy bandits have deployed heavy troops around Shangqiu, Li Feng will not be so stupid as to seek his own death. He can't go north, he can't go south, he can't go west, he has to go east.

In order to attack the west with great fanfare, Li Feng sent a troop eastward with great fanfare, pointing directly at Xuzhou. Since the enemy's heavy troops were concentrated in the north, south and west directions, they never dreamed that Li Feng would turn his carbine and march towards Xuzhou, the enemy's hinterland.

Chapter 255 The Invisibility

Since Xuzhou did not have a strong defensive force at all, Miyamoto was in chaos, so he hurriedly reassigned the First Chariot Division and the Dongxiang Brigade to quickly maneuver in the direction of Xuzhou, blocking the direction of his army's advance to Xuzhou.

After successfully mobilizing the Dongxiang Brigade and the First Tank Division, the Temporary First Brigade quickly pressed all its forces against the Hashimoto Independent Infantry Regiment. The Hashimoto Regiment was only a garrison force and was not equipped with field artillery and other field support. Weapons, relatively weak firepower.

After being defeated in the field battle outside Beiwang Town, under the command of the captain of the Hashimoto Regiment, they all retreated to Beiwang Town and waited for reinforcements. go ahead.

They traveled [-] kilometers in one day and one night. By the early morning of April [-]th, the Liu Guowei Battalion of the New Eighth Brigade, the vanguard of the New Houyi Division, could already hear the sound of rumbling artillery from the direction of Shangqiu.

The luck on the battlefield at this moment undoubtedly belonged to Li Feng. Originally, when Li Feng's headquarters passed by Angang, the enemy troops stationed an independent squadron of armored vehicles here.

If they encountered this independent armored vehicle squadron, Li Feng's command staff must have suffered heavy casualties. It just so happened that the independent tank battalion that cooperated with the volunteer division attacked the enemy's independent armored vehicle squadron the night before.

Therefore, when Li Feng's headquarters passed through Angang, they saw the wreckage of many enemy armored vehicles and the corpses of soldiers, occasionally mixed with the remains of some volunteers.

Li Feng led the command staff to bury the remains of those foreign soldiers. We were overjoyed that many machine guns in the wreckage of the enemy's armored vehicles were still intact and could be used after disassembly.

In this way, the new Houyi Division picked up 47 enemy vehicle-mounted machine guns and a large number of machine gun bullets in Angangbai, which greatly increased the firepower density of the troops.

Just as Li Feng's new Houyi Division arrived at the outskirts of Shangqiu with the temporary first brigade at the head, the new eighth brigade in the middle, and the temporary second brigade guards arrived in the suburbs of Shangqiu in order, Miyamoto also realized his mistake, and hurriedly sent the Dongxiang brigade and the first chariot The division was transferred from Xuzhou to Shangqiu.

The poor enemy Dongxiang Brigade and the First Tank Division were transferred from Shangqiu to Xuzhou within four days, and then from Xuzhou to Shangqiu, running back and forth, and the soldiers were exhausted.

Especially those tanks and armored vehicles of the [-]st Tank Division could not go into battle immediately after a long journey. The pre-battle maintenance took two days.

In other words, the enemy's most combat-capable First Tank Division was unable to participate in the battle for six days, which played a key role in the direction of the Battle of Shangqiu.

The cold rain soaked through the clothes, and the scouts responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy's positions groped west along the road of the Xishang River flowing through Shangqiu.

There is no moon in the sky, and you can't see your fingers. The scouts must quickly find out the deployment of the enemy's troops ahead, otherwise the attacking troops of other troops will suffer heavy losses after dawn.

Now that we have reached the outskirts of Shangqiu, we can't lose our troops in vain. If we want to lose, the enemy must pay the same or even more losses.

The reconnaissance report said that the enemy army on the opposite side was the most powerful Kwantung Army among the Japanese invaders. They lost their confidence in winning and the courage to fight.

With the remaining 9000 people in his army, it is indeed difficult to defeat the Xiaolinjue brigade head-on, but we must pass through the Xiaolinjue brigade's position, otherwise we will not be able to enter Shangqiu, let alone rescue Shangqiu.

At the critical moment, it was the Volunteer Division who helped Li Feng a lot. In order to open up the passage into Shangqiu and send more food and ammunition to the trapped soldiers and civilians, the Volunteer Division and the 88th Division launched another attack and got the Independent Tank Battalion and Zhihang. Wing fighters help.

The offensive of the Volunteer Division was very sharp, and the battle was very fierce. The enemy Shinyu Brigade in front of the Volunteer Division suffered heavy casualties, and gradually could not withstand the attack of the Volunteer Division. The enemy transferred the Kobayashi Jue Brigade to support the Shinyu Brigade.

The position of the Kobayashi Jue Brigade was handed over to the Kimura United Team. The Kimura United Team was not familiar with the position and the surrounding environment at all. This was good news for Li Feng.

Li Feng and the commanders of the main troops stood on a flat field in the woods, and the bright red battle flag of the [-]th Legion was flying in front of our eyes.

Li Feng looked at these commanders and said: "Seeing that the enemy is timid? I don't know how to fight? You all started as soldiers, and you are all leaders who climbed out of the dead. You are all commanders that Li Feng trusts." .

You have a heavy responsibility, not only to be responsible for the safety of your subordinate soldiers, but also to be responsible for the future and future of the Xia nation.

If even you dare not fight the enemy bandits, how can you lead the soldiers to fight for the independence of Xia and national freedom?Li Feng knows that each of you is fleshy, you will be wounded and you will die, but you must know that you are not an ordinary soldier.

It is a senior commander. Xia Guo and the people need you to protect them, to shed blood and sacrifice, not to get promoted and get rich. You must know that we are the National Revolutionary Army and revolutionary soldiers.

Putting on this military uniform means that we have the responsibility and obligation to shed blood and sacrifice to defend our country. Since you see the Japanese invaders in front of you and dare not fight, let me teach you what is called fighting and what is called bloodshed Sacrifice, open your eyes and take a good look. "

After finishing speaking, Li Feng said to Lin Chong, the battalion commander of the guard battalion: "You are in charge of fighting against the battle flag of the 211th Legion. Li Feng hopes that you and Li Feng will plant the battle flag on the enemy's main position on Height [-], okay?"

Lin Chong slapped his chest and shouted: "Commander, don't worry, I, Lin Chong, will follow to the death."

The two of us walked out of the woods and came to the soldiers of the guard battalion. Those commanders who were left in the open space looked at each other, at a loss.

"Guard battalion, mount the bayonets." Lin Chong gave an order, and the soldiers loaded the bayonets on their rifles neatly and looked at us firmly.

Li Feng smiled slightly and shouted: "Brothers, our goal is Height 211. Let's have a competition to see who among us climbs Height 211 first."

"Okay, okay, okay." The soldiers cheered in unison, and Li Feng said to Su Ping beside him, "Su Ping, lead the rescue team to act with us and take care of yourself." Su Ping nodded.

With the help of the cover of the morning light and fog, Li Feng led [-] brothers in the guard battalion to quietly touch the front of the enemy's position, and heard the deafening snoring on the position.

Li Feng knew that the enemy had never noticed that we were in front of them. Li Feng said to the soldiers: "Get ready, grenade, we will launch a surprise attack."

Li Feng took out a grenade and twisted off the tail cap, pulled out the fire ring and put it on his little finger, stood up and made a gesture, and rushed into the fog first, thanks to the excellent intelligence of the scouts.

Chapter 256 Wonderful Performance

We are more familiar with the terrain of the 211 Heights than the soldiers of the Kimura Regiment. Within 5 minutes, we have passed through the fog.

Arriving in front of the enemy's position, a few enemy sentries watched the Huaxia soldiers rushing out of the fog, dumbfounded and at a loss.And the grenade on our side hit their foreheads firmly, blood and brains splashed everywhere.

The screams awakened the sleeping enemy soldiers, and they rushed out of the garrison cave one after another, before they all reached the first trench.

The grenades of the Huaxia soldiers had exploded under their feet one after another. The explosions threw the enemy soldiers around, and the broken flesh and blood of the enemy soldiers were everywhere inside and outside the trenches.
