The Japanese were still thinking about how to break through the high ground on the right flank of the 11th Division, and they were planning to attack at night, and a huge crisis was approaching them.

Peng Shan, commander of the 11th Division, fidgeted at the command headquarters and waited for the latest news from the 33rd Brigade.

Peng Shan got the latest news that a wing of the Botian detachment was frustrated in the positions of Yangjiashan and Tangshan and turned to the waterway. Therefore, it is very likely that the situation of the battle will change.

"Report, the 33 Brigade is in place and ready to move."

The report of the signal corps shocked Peng Shan's heart, and it was time to make up his mind.

The chief of staff shouted: "Division commander......"

Peng Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The arrow is on the string, and I have to send it." Order 33 Travel to move, demand a quick battle, no pursuit! ”

The order was quickly conveyed to the 33 Brigade, and the brigade commander Ye Peigao immediately began to deploy the task.

The Japanese artillery wing was 5 kilometers away from the forward wing, and Ye Peigao chose a place with a narrow road to bury a battalion of ambush soldiers within this 5 kilometers to block the contact between the front and rear.

In addition, a battalion was sent to attack the cavalry brigade, and its main force attacked the Japanese artillery wing with all its might.

The 106th Division belongs to the B division, and its artillery wing has only three brigades (four in the first class), with less than 2,000 troops. The strength of the 33rd Brigade is around 6,000, and its equipment is even stronger than that of the Japanese army.

(The 9th Theater is the strongest of the 18th Army, and the core of the 18th Army is the 11th Division.) )

Peng Shan had repeatedly reconnoitred and locked on targets in various parts of the Japanese army. All the troops detoured back into position, just waiting for the final moment of the general attack.

"The general offensive begins!"

The headquarters of the 33rd Brigade, Ye Peigao issued a general attack on this call.

"Whoosh~" "Whoosh~" "Whoosh~"

Three red flares rose into the night sky at different locations.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

The violent roar completely broke the silence of the night. In the northeast area of Hukou, you can see the flames everywhere, after all, this is a battle of nearly 10,000 people.

The 33rd Brigade was divided into four routes and launched night attacks on various points of the Japanese army.

"Boom Boom" "......"

The three artillery battalions of the Japanese army were stationed in the neighboring villages, and the Nationalist army launched a direct surprise attack on the villages.

Under the cover of mortar guns, the 1st Battalion of the 65th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade launched a direct attack on one of the villages.

The assault company bore the brunt of the attack, quickly broke through from the west of the village, and started a fierce street battle with the village devils. Follow-up troops followed.

The attacks of the other troops are the same, and they must inflict heavy losses on the devils before reinforcements arrive.

The General Headquarters of the Central Clamp Mouth.

"Report! The 106th Field Artillery Wing was attacked by the enemy's main force and is now blocking it with all its might to protect its equipment. ”

"Yaga! The main force brought by the Chinese army! ”

The commander of the 111th Brigade, Major General Wa Qu, could not believe that the main force of the 11th Division suddenly appeared in the rear of the reinforcements.

Major General Wa quickly walked around the operational map to check the location of the 106th Wing.

The staff officer on the side said: "The 11th Division is the trump card unit of the Chinese Army, with a strength of more than 12,000, and it is completely capable of dividing troops to return to the rear of our army."

"Cunning Shina man."

Major General Wa Qu is now angry and panicked, and it is difficult for an artillery wing to stop the enemy who outnumbered him, not to mention that they are attacking at night, and the garrison is defenseless.

In a hurry, the major general of the district said: "Order the nearest cavalry brigade to reinforce quickly."

The devil's staff officer reminded: "The enemy is coming prepared, and I think a cavalry brigade is not enough. Not to mention that cavalry is not good at field warfare. ”

The major general of the district endured his anger, and in desperation, ordered: "Call the 113th Wing to retreat and rescue together, and then return to the middle clamp together."

The cavalry brigade stationed near the Japanese artillery wing quickly rushed to reinforcements, but was blocked by the 3rd battalion of the 66th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade on the way.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

Countless fires shot out from both sides of the road, and a dense network of firepower blocked the road.

It turned out that the three battalions were ambushed in the woods on both sides of the road, and the cavalry could no longer attack in the woods, so they could only dismount and hide, looking for cover to counterattack.

The 113th Wing, the forward unit of the Japanese army, received an order to begin a retreat.

At the headquarters of the 11th Division, division commander Peng Shan has been waiting for any news from the front.

One soldier reported: "Report! The Japanese army began to retreat! ”

"It seems that the fire behind the devil is quite hot."

Peng Shan's hanging heart fell, and then ordered: "Order the 31st Brigade and the Independent Regiment to counterattack on all fronts!"

"Yes!"

The Signal Soldier shouted so hard that even he felt victory at hand.

For a time, the troops on both sides unconsciously invested all their troops.

On the northern front, the main force of the 33rd Brigade made every effort to encircle and annihilate the Japanese field artillery wing; In the middle road, two battalions of the 33rd Brigade blocked the Japanese Cavalry Brigade and the 113th Wing respectively; On the southern front, the 31st Brigade and the Independent Regiment pursued the 113th Wing to the death.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"

In one camp, the Japanese artillery brigade hit all its forces around the field artillery, used the fortifications to block the national army, and waited for rescue.

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

The 65th Regiment continued to charge, but they were all beaten back by the strong fire of the devils.

Now it's a burning eyebrow, Japanese reinforcements will arrive at any time, and Zhu Dingqing, the commander of the 65th regiment, is anxious to go by himself.

Temporary command of the 33 regiment of the 65 brigade.

The chief of staff on the side of the table said: "The devils are going to defend to the death, there are four or five hundred devils at each point, they have fortifications as covers, although we have twice as many troops, but we can't take advantage."

Zhu Dingqing asked loudly, "Then what can you do!?"

The chief of staff fell silent for a moment, and the command became quiet for a moment.

"It would be nice if the falcons were here, they're ghosts of the night, but they fucking ran away to the 26th Division." Zhu Dingqing couldn't help muttering.

The chief of staff said casually: "Do you want to send a telegram to ask?" The Falcon is not only strong by those few people, but mainly by the strategy of the commander. ”

"I'm a regimental leader...... Isn't it a bit of a shame? ”

"What's there. I heard that during the Battle of Xuzhou, even Commander Feng Anbang listened to the command of the Falcon commander. He is a military commander. ”

"Cough~" Zhu Dingqing sighed: "I can't care so much." Give it a try. ”

In desperation, Zhu Dingqing sent a telegram to the 26th Division asking for advice, and within a few minutes, the 26th Division replied with a telegram.

Zhu Dingqing was overjoyed after reading it, and quickly implemented the telegram's plan.

On the battlefield ahead, the two sides are still in a stalemate.

The three battlefields received orders from the regimental headquarters.

At a firefighting point, the 1st Battalion of the 65th Regiment quickly implemented the plan.

The commander of the first battalion ordered more than 50 horses to be retrieved. These horses were used by the devils to transport artillery and ammunition, and the previous evacuation was in a hurry to protect the field artillery, and it was too late to deal with it.

The soldiers then placed a sufficient amount of explosives on their horses, and then dispersed in the darkness of the night, and sent a few skilled warriors to ride on them.

When everything was ready, the commander of the first battalion ordered: "Shelling!"

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

All the mortar guns of the first battalion launched a heavy artillery bombardment on the devil's camp a hundred meters ahead.

Under the cover of artillery fire, all the horses galloped together in the darkness towards the camp ahead.

"Up!"

The commander of a battalion quickly ordered his troops to charge after the horses.

The devils in the fortifications were suppressed by artillery fire and could not hear anything, but just fired indiscriminately at the front.

The horses were scattered, and when they were close to thirty meters, the soldiers above pulled the lead, and then flew off their horses and rolled to the ground. And the horses continued to gallop forward.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

The devil's camp was so ablaze that almost the entire camp was blown up into the sky.

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

Suddenly, there was a sound of killing in front of them, and the soldiers of the first battalion rushed to the camp easily, and those devils had already been blown upside down. A battalion won the battle without much effort.

The commander of the first battalion ordered: "Send a signal!"

"Whoosh~" A green flare rises in the night sky.

The flare eye color means something different. Green means successful completion and evacuation, but this flare has another meaning: victory!

Not long after, green flares were raised in two other places.

The strategic purpose of the 11th Division had been accomplished, and the division commander Peng Shan immediately ordered the troops to withdraw on all fronts.

The battle ended with the complete victory of the 11th Division, and the Japanese reinforcements fled in disarray back to the previous landing site: Zhongjiakou.

This night's battle was destined for the 11th Division to sing the leading role, but it was not only them who were restless, but also the ghost of the night: the Falcon Special Combat Team.
