Just after dawn on the 27th, all the combat units of the Japanese army were in place. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Ten enemy planes flew over the position and bombarded it in turns, and the position was also under heavy artillery fire from the ground. This time, the Japanese army had sufficient troops, and at the same time launched a charge on the hilltop positions. Today's enemy is uncharacteristically aggressive.

The 146th Division has long been deployed. Division Commander Liu Zhaoli was confident and held a telescope to observe, only to see that the infantry in front was dense, and the road behind the infantry was dusty, with dozens of tanks, artillery cars, and armored vehicles, and the faint sound of motors was heard one after another.

Division Commander Liu Zhaoli saw the opportunity and immediately ordered: "The defenders at the front pretend to be defeated, fight and move backwards, and lead the enemy into the pre-ambush area behind."

"Yes!"

A soldier immediately picked up the phone to convey the order of the division commander.

At this time, Chen Haotian was directing anxious waiting, and every minute that passed, his own soldiers might become victims of the devil's artillery fire.

Suddenly, the phone rang, Chen Haotian immediately picked up the phone, hung up the phone immediately after listening, and then ordered the regiment to feign retreat.

First, three regiments feigned defeat and withdrew from their positions, and secondly, the first and second regiments moved closer to the center to cover the third regiment and retreat.

When the enemy saw that the defenders were defeated, they rushed in pursuit of them in order to vent their hatred of yesterday.

The infantry in front desperately pursued, and the tanks and armored vehicles behind also increased their horsepower and drove forward along the road, gradually entering the three-mile-long ambush area.

On both sides of the canyon, the commander of the artillery battalion of the 146th Division observed from the artillery mirror and saw that dozens of chariots of the devil had entered the pocket. ”。

Eight 85 mountain guns aimed at several chariots behind the enemy opened fire at the same time, and after several shots, these chariots caught fire one after another and were paralyzed, blocking the retreating road.

At this time, the eight mountain guns and the small and medium-sized mortars, light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and grenades gathered by the whole division opened fire together, and the bullets rained down like deafening, and the smoke rising from the enemy's pile became a patch, covering the sky with dust, and blood flew sideways.

The devil suffered a catastrophe, and the screams below had long been completely drowned out by the sound of cannons and bullets. On the middle of the road, the corpse of the devil lay in a pool of his own blood. The surviving devils want headless flies to skewer around and shoot everywhere.

The enemy attacking in front of the canyon was about 2,000 people, chasing Chen Haotian all the way. As soon as they heard that the rear team was lost, they immediately stopped advancing and returned to the division to rescue.

Chen Haotian found that the devil was not pursuing, and ordered the first and second regiments to fight back against the Japanese army and cooperate with the main force to encircle and suppress the Japanese army.

The devils had already collapsed, and before they could recover and gain a firm foothold, Division Commander Liu Zhaoli immediately ordered to blow the trumpet of the charge. As dozens of army trumpets sounded all over the mountain, the Liao Jing'an Brigade ambushed on both sides of the road galloped over from the left under the leadership of the regiment commander Pan Yanjiu. Yang Guoan, the regiment commander who was ambushed on the right side, also took the lead, brandishing his pistol and leading the soldiers of the regiment to rush from the right.

The shouts of killing all over the mountains shook the entire valley, and the enemy was suddenly attacked from both sides in the panic retreat, unable to retreat or advance, so he immediately seized the high points on both sides of the road and desperately organized resistance with superior firepower.

The soldiers of the Sichuan army saw that the devil had been caught off guard, and they were already at a disadvantage, and they had artillery to help them attack the enemy's machine gun fire points, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they launched an attack on the enemy under the cover of artillery fire.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Suddenly there was a resurgence of killing in front of the highway, and Chen Haotian led two regiments to kill him from the highway. At this time, the sound of artillery and gunfire began to slowly become scarce, and some were the killing cries of Sichuan soldiers and the screams of a devil.

The soldiers of the Sichuan army sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives and fought bravely to kill the enemy. The two sides fought fiercely for several hours, repeatedly rushing and killing, but the enemy gradually became overwhelmed and did not dare to fight, sent planes and artillery to cover, and began to retreat backwards in embarrassment.

When the enemy's tanks were shelled by us, the destroyed armored vehicles and tanks blocked the retreat road. Some of the chariots that had not been bombed were hurriedly scurrying on the road, some hiding in the rocky corners on the side of the road, and some found a steep path in the chaos, so they increased their horsepower, and the motors "suddenly, suddenly" emitted black smoke, roared and drove back on the trail to escape.

When the chariots that had fled along the trail had run two miles, they encountered a steep slope with hay piled up.

These Japanese devils who escaped did not know what was at stake, and drove up this steep slope full of hay.

It turned out that this was exactly what Liu Zhaoli had arranged, and the hay was sprayed with kerosene in the morning, and as soon as the devil's vehicle stepped on here, the light and heavy machine guns and mortars in ambush on both sides opened fire on the hay together, and the incendiary bombs ignited the kerosene, and the steep slope immediately burst into flames, and the enemy tanks and artillery trucks that had escaped rushed through the raging fire desperately to flee for their lives.

As soon as the rubber wheels were stained with burning kerosene, they caught fire, and as the tires "bleeped and peeled", several devil armored cars were burned down on the steep slope.

The battle was not over, at dusk, a group of artillery covering the retreat of the Japanese army was preparing to retreat back to the camp, and a group of Sichuan soldiers suddenly appeared in the haze, they moved quickly and agilely, like a group of cats, silently appeared in front of them, suddenly a burst of grenades, submachine guns, bullets like flying locusts, dozens of grenades exploded in the enemy group, until this group of enemies "ah, ah" screamed, chaotic.

The devil soldiers did not know the truth and did not care about the artillery, so they removed the cannon mirror and other devices, abandoned the cannon and fled.

Liu Zhaoli had already reconnoitred the enemy's artillery position during the day, selected more than 30 sturdy soldiers, carried submachine guns and horsetail grenades produced by Liu Xiang's arsenal, and took advantage of the enemy's retreat to the camp at dusk.

In the battle on the 27th, Liu Zhaoli's 146th Division won a complete victory, capturing six enemy officers and men, destroying three enemy tanks, four artillery vehicles, and nine armored vehicles, and capturing three enemy mountain guns, one field artillery, and countless other items.

"Division Commander, this battle is a great one!"

Chen Haotian came to the front of Division Commander Liu Zhaoli and leaked a rare expression of joy on the battlefield, after all, he annihilated thousands of Japanese soldiers.

Liu Zhaoli couldn't get excited, he was a veteran after all, and he thought farther and deeper than Chen Haotian, an officer who was less than thirty years old.

Liu Zhaoli said calmly: "This battle is perfect, the deployment is in place, the command is appropriate, and the soldiers are brave. But even so, our division still suffered heavy casualties. These devils ,......"

Liu Zhaoli sighed in his heart, and after sighing, he shook his head slightly. Chen Haotian immediately understood the thoughts of the division commander Liu Zhaoli, but this can't be blamed on them, the perennial civil war and the weakening of the national strength are the fundamental reasons.

Liu Zhaoli took advantage of the Japanese army's eagerness to encircle Nanjing, deceived and feigned defeat, led the devil to the three-mile-long valley of death, and annihilated it in one fell swoop. This was the first battle since the 146th Division left Sichuan, and it ended in a big victory. It also bought valuable time for the troops who had withdrawn from the Battle of Songhu in Nanjing. But this battle is only the beginning, and more tragic battles await them.
