For two whole days, both sides fought day and night in Zhanggushan, and both suffered heavy losses, and a brigade of the 113th Wing of the 111th Brigade of the Japanese Army was almost disabled, unable to launch another attack.

Now another brigade of the 113th Wing is still frantically carrying out attacks that I don't know how many times.

The 58th Division, an elite division of the Central Army, has more than 10,000 people, and the total number of troops that can fight now is less than 500.

When a squadron improvised by the 113th Wing of the Japanese Army rushed into the main position of Zhang Gushan, Division Commander Feng had to personally go into battle and kill.

At this time, Commander Yu's guard battalion also rushed over, and in one fell swoop, the Japanese army at the end of the strong crossbow rushed down.

Commander Yu heard the plea on the phone of Division Commander Feng, and there were no soldiers to send, and the 51st Division was being bitten by the Japanese army on the side of Biandan Mountain.

In desperation, Commander Yu had to leave only one squad of his guard battalion to defend the military headquarters, and the rest all supported the 58th Division.

In such a harsh combat environment, it is really dangerous to leave only one squad of guards to defend the military headquarters, and a squad of people is almost incapable of protecting the military headquarters in the face of a sudden attack by the Japanese army.

But the battle came to this point, Zhang Gushan was defeated by the Japanese army, and he Commander Yu could not have a way to live, and there was the commander of the 88th Division Long during the Battle of Lanfeng, who was shot in this way.

Rather than being shot, it is better to fight directly on the battlefield, so Commander Yu made a heart, took out the strength of the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai in 128, and simply transferred the guards around him to empty.

The 74th Army was originally the elite of the Central Army, and the guard battalion was the elite of the elite, these hundreds of people were well-equipped and strong, and as soon as they entered the battlefield, they immediately reversed the situation.

If it weren't for the 58th Division's Commander Feng's obstruction, the men of this guard battalion would have continued to fight into the enemy formation, and Division Commander Feng didn't dare to hurt the elites in these armies, so he stopped them to the death.

Anyway, the task of guarding Zhang Gushan has been completed, and the Japanese army is unable to attack again for the time being, so it is better to quickly strengthen the position and wait for other brother troops to take over.

Before nightfall, the Corps Headquarters finally transferred two regiments from the 189th Division of the 64th Army of the Guangdong Army to take over the positions of the 58th Division, and replaced the seeds of the 58th Division with several hundred of them.

I thought that the Japanese army fought so badly and suffered such heavy losses that a wing was disabled, and at least it would have to rest for a day or two, so the troops of the 189th Division who came to change the defense were a bit careless, and did not quickly strengthen the position and strengthen the defense.

On the same night, the Japanese army made a comeback, and after a night of fierce fighting, both sides were exhausted, and the 189th Division currently had only two regiments here, and after one night, they were unable to fight again the next day.

Just when General Xue Yue urgently transferred troops, in fact, there were no more troops to deploy, and the fighting was fierce everywhere, and General Xue was ready to transfer a regiment of the 51st Division of the 74th Army on the side.

Before the 51st Division could be dispatched, the Japanese army continued to launch a second wave of more fierce attacks when the sky was dark, and this time when daylight came, planes were dispatched to blow up the already fragile 189th Division, and it was defeated at once.

Zhang Gushan was actually occupied by the Japanese army, and the news reached General Xue at the Corps Headquarters, but General Xue was angry, it stands to reason that whether it is the 58th Division or the 189th Division, it is currently the most elite troops.

The 58th Division is the elite of the Central Army, and the 189th Division is the elite of the Guangdong Army, but both troops fell home on Zhanggu Mountain and suffered heavy losses, which made General Xue a clever woman without rice.

What is even more urgent is that once Zhanggushan is occupied by the Japanese army, it is equivalent to the encirclement that more than 100,000 people in the Wanjialing area have worked so hard to enclose will be broken at once.

Could it be that this time it will be like the previous battle of Lanfeng, if it can be surrounded, but it can't be defeated, is this fate? General Xue did not believe in fatalism, and the Chinese army would definitely be able to defeat the Japanese army, and this belief was always there.

If Zhang Gushan was lost in the hands of the 58th Division of the 74th Army, he Xue Yue would still have a reason to say that the Central Army was the same as the Battle of Lanfeng again, and he would not be able to withstand it at a critical time, and he could even cure the crimes of Feng Shengfa and Yu Jishi.

But this Gushan was not lost in the hands of the 74th Division of the 58th Army, but in the hands of his Guangdong Army, this is not easy to say, although General Xue hated the 189th Division, but the 189th Division had a reason, and there were only two regiments.

The four regiments of the 58th Division held out for two days, and in the end there were only 500 people left, and their 189th Division only had two regiments, which must be even more unable to hold on.

Now is not the time to pursue responsibility, the top priority is to fill this hole, in order to save the passive situation.

After all, Zhang Gushan occupies a very important strategic position in the entire Wanjialing siege and annihilation battle, which is similar to the bottom of the bag in the pocket of the encirclement.

As soon as the bottom of the bag is broken, it means that this pocket will be tied in vain, so many days of hard work, so many sacrifices, all in vain, therefore, General Xue was very anxious, and urgently ordered the 74th Army, the closest unit to Zhang Gushan, to take Zhang Gushan and re-tighten the pocket.

On 5 October, the 51st Division sent the 306th Regiment to make a tentative attack in response to the command of Commander Xue when the troops were not yet fully assembled.

It's not easy to talk about, the devils also know the importance of this position, that is the only way for them to survive at present, as long as they hold on to this gap, the 106th Division may break out.

Now most of the 106th Division has been bitten by the Chinese army and cannot get out, but it has opened a channel of life, which must be a booster for the Japanese army in despair.

Therefore, the Japanese army arranged the first brigade under the 111th Brigade of Major General Aoki under the 147th Brigade of the 147th Brigade of the small Zhanggu Mountain, with almost 1,000 people.

In the face of such a position, the 360th Regiment of the 51st Division naturally could not be defeated, and on October 6, it could not even get close to the foot of the mountain, so it was beaten back by the Japanese army.

Now such a situation can be said to be very urgent for General Xue, as long as the Japanese reinforcements on the periphery are close to this gap and connected with the 106th Division, then this Wanjialing siege and annihilation battle will be the second Lanfeng battle.

More than 100,000 people fought for many days, killed and injured many people, and finally it was another blind toss.

Therefore, General Xue once again strictly ordered Commander Yu of the 74th Army to take Zhang Gushan within one day, otherwise he would be taken down and sent to the Military Justice Department on the grounds of disobedience to his superiors.

The area of Zhang Gushan and the width of the position are not large, and they cannot meet the needs of an army to be deployed to fight, and the troops of a division cannot be expanded, so they can only call the commander of the 51st Division, Wang, to organize the troops to desperately take it.

After listening to the intelligence of the 306th Regiment, Division Commander Wang Yaozu found the brigade commanders of the two brigades and the four regiment commanders to discuss the implementation of this matter.

In view of the mountainous terrain of Zhanggushan, the front is a long gentle slope, which is suitable for attacking, but the Japanese army must be heavily defended, and everyone knows that this is the only way to attack Zhanggushan.
