The Japanese army wanted to bypass the bitter fighting on both sides of the Yangtze River and return to the northeast or north of Wuhan from the northern foot of the Dabie Mountain, but was stubbornly resisted by the Third Corps of the Fifth Theater. &1t;/p>

In addition to fighting Lao Ben and the 1st Division of the Japanese Army in the 71st Army of the Central Army in Fujin Mountain, there were also several units of the Northwest Army, which also fought fiercely with the Japanese army. &1t;/p>

For example, Tian Zhennan's O Army under Sun Lianzhong's Second Group Army, which was the main force that originally won the victory in Taierzhuang, collided with the Japanese 16th Division at Xiaojieling and fought fiercely against each other. &1t;/p>

After the Japanese 1st Division and the 71st Army were defeated at Fujin Mountain, both armies were crippled and temporarily retreated, but the Japanese 1st Division quickly replenished the source of troops and coordinated the attack as a second-line force. &1t;/p>

In the direction of Macheng, if the Japanese army breaks through this line of defense, it can directly reach Macheng, and from Macheng to Wuhan, there is basically no danger to defend. &1t;/p>

The 16th Division of the Japanese Army, led by one squadron of armored vehicles, concentrated the use of two divisions (1, 16) and its artillery (the infantry of the 1st Division was disabled, but the artillery was undamaged). &1t;/p>

The 1st Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army stationed at Hefei Airport flew dozens of planes to bomb the positions of the Chinese army, and first fought fiercely with the O Division of the O Army, causing heavy casualties on both sides. &1t;/p>

The O Army retreated to the key passes of the Dabie Mountains, such as Baique Garden, Shawo, Xiaojieling, and Lianglukou, that is to say, all the Chinese troops went up to the Dabie Mountains, relying on the complex mountainous terrain to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army. &1t;/p>

This line is all mountainous in the Dabie Mountains, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Relying on favorable terrain and extremely advantageous positions, the Chinese army prevented the Japanese army from advancing from this place to Wuhan through Macheng. &1t;/p>

The terrain of the Dabie Mountains is more terrible than that of Fujin Mountain, many places are cliffs of 5o degrees, and there are more than ten peaks of more than a kilometer in the shopping mall alone, and the heavy weapons of the Japanese army can hardly enter the Dabie Mountain. &1t;/p>

Moreover, the rain and fog in the Dabie Mountains were frequent, and the Japanese planes could not effectively bomb them, and even the Japanese artillery observers could not observe them in time, resulting in the inability of the Japanese army's superior firepower to be displayed, and its combat effectiveness dropped a lot. &1t;/p>

Relying on the advantageous terrain and the well-repaired fortifications, the Chinese army fought with the Japanese army for more than 4o days. In the fierce battle of Dabie Mountain, the Japanese army again suffered more than 10,000 casualties. &1t;/p>

According to the veterans of the 1st Division, when the 1st Division came out of Hefei, each infantry squadron was 18o people, and after the Battle of Fujin Mountain, although it was replenished many times during the period, only 8O people were left in the end. &1t;/p>

The 1st Division was then reverted to the strength of 1oo men after field replenishment before entering the Dabie Mountains, and as a result, they had an average of about 4o men left per squadron after the Battle of Dabie Mountain. &1t;/p>

In other words, the casualties of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army in this battle also reached 7,8 percent, and the officers and soldiers who participated in the Nanjing Massacre were basically killed and wounded, and it can be regarded as the revenge of the national army for the innocent civilians in Nanjing. &1t;/p>

Another 16th Division, which participated in the Nanjing Massacre, also suffered heavy casualties. After the Battle of Dabie Mountain, the 16th Division actually had a squadron with only one squadron leader and one soldier, which was only 8 percent of the full strength. &1t;/p>

Due to the successful command of the Nationalist army and the very perfect preparations, the purpose of the Japanese army to occupy the mall was to take a shortcut over the Dabie Mountain to attack Wuhan, but this goal was not achieved. &1t;/p>

It was not until the Supreme Command of the Chinese Army ordered a great retreat from Wuhan and the Chinese Army took the initiative to evacuate Dabie Mountain, that the 1st Division crossed the Hubei border of Dabie Mountain on January 1o and arrived at Macheng on the 6th. &1t;/p>

The 16th Division crossed Xiaojieling on the 4th of January and arrived at Macheng on the 5th, where it joined the 1st Division. On the 5th, the last troops of the Chinese 9th Theater had withdrawn from Wuhan, and the Japanese army's plan to break through the Dabie Mountains failed. &1t;/p>

While the 1st and 16th Divisions of the Japanese Second Army were attacking in the direction of Macheng in the southwest, the 1O Division was attacking due west, and the main target was Huangchuan. &1t;/p>

The defense of Huangchuan is also the Northwest Army, which is another, General Zhang Zizhong's 7th Army Corps (59th Army), like the O Army, this Northwest Army also fought with the Japanese 1O Division when it was in Taierzhuang, but they mainly fought with the 5th Division. &1t;/p>

General Zhang is brave and strategic, since the Lugou Bridge Incident, he has been criticized by the countrymen, but he is more courageous, and he wants to kill more devils to prove that he is not a traitor, and even has the idea of killing himself. &1t;/p>

Huangchuan already belongs to the boundary of Henan, this area is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is not suitable for the defense of large corps, General Zhang can only arrange the troops in depth, try to expand the space and flexibility of the defense line, and set up multiple fronts to defend step by step. &1t;/p>

When the Japanese army violently attacked the forward positions, General Zhang wrote a personal letter, similar to a military order, and distributed it to commanders at all levels: &1t;/p>

"In a war, guns and knives are used, and it is inevitable that people will be killed and injured, and the key is to be calm and calm, and try to avoid and reduce casualties. Believe that we have casualties, the enemy has it, maybe more, we have difficulties, the enemy has it, maybe more. At this time, it depends on who can hold on to the last second, who has the perseverance to endure, and the victory belongs to whom. ”&1t;/p>

After seeing this, the commanders at all levels were greatly boosted in morale, and became more calm, calm, and resolute, and the Japanese army's attack was like hitting an iron plate, and it could not be attacked for several days in a row. &1t;/p>

In order to lay down the position as soon as possible, the Japanese army sent the 44th Wing to take Huangchuan from the south of Xixian County, and made a big detour to flank or even copy the rear road of the Chinese army. &1t;/p>

At this time, General Zhang also sent the 8th Division, the ace division of the 59th Army, from the direction of Xixian to detour the flank of the Japanese army and relieve the pressure on the frontal defensive position. &1t;/p>

The two troops, both who wanted to detour to the rear of each other's flanks, actually met together in the twenty-five miles southwest of Xixian County, and when they met the brave on the narrow road, the 8th Division immediately responded, immediately met it, and started fighting directly. &1t;/p>

The 44th Wing of the Japanese Army was also not ambiguous, and the two armies fought in close combat, which was exactly the result of the 8th Division's diligent pursuit, and finally seized the opportunity to fight the Japanese army in close quarters. &1t;/p>

Almost all of China's elite troops like to fight with the Japanese army in close combat at night, because in this way the Japanese army's aircraft and artillery can be ineffective, and they can only use the most primitive battles and fight people. &1t;/p>

In the face of resisting foreign enemies, any countrymen, bloody people, do not need to mobilize, let alone elite troops, they are even more indomitable and forget about life and death, and they can die with the devil. &1t;/p>

As a result, the Japanese army lost its advantage in firepower and could only fight with the Chinese army, which hated the same enemy, and in this battle, the two sides did not give in to each other, and fought day and night for three days and three nights in a row. &1t;/p>

Both sides do not give in to each other, their strength is equal, they are unwilling to withdraw their troops, they are stuck together, and even the superiors on both sides do not listen to the orders of the superiors on both sides to retreat, just to go down to see who can beat who down. &1t;/p>

The Northwest Army, especially the Northwest Army under General Zhang Zizhong, is a particularly capable army, which can endure, carry, and fight. &1t;/p>

In the end, the Japanese army was defeated in front of the Qin people, the world's heroes, and they couldn't stand it, for three days and three nights, normal people couldn't stand it, not to mention the continuous battles, and the soldiers who were tired to death on the position were all there. &1t;/p>

Many of the fighters fell to the ground without warning, not injured or asleep, but exhausted and died of shock. &1t;/p>

Alas! I, a Chinese disciple, tried my last bit of strength, fell on this hot land, and left without regrets. &1t;/p>

Great! I, a three-Qin man, do not flinch in the face of a strong enemy, live endlessly, kill the enemy more than once, and rest until death. (To be continued)&1t;/p>
