Lincheng, a key point on the Jinpu line. The railway station has been blocked, officially entered the state of military control, about a company of soldiers in the station guard, they are the first to get off the vanguard company, belonging to the 89th Division of the 295th Brigade 530th Regiment, after the 20th Army entered the war, the 85th and 89th divisions under the 85th Army have entered the battle. At this time, the 295th Brigade of the 295th Division was marching towards Lincheng.

In the station, there was also the second battalion that had just gotten off the train, and the battalion commander, Major Yan Yizhong, was organizing the troops, and the noise of chattering in the team made the already chaotic station even more noisy.

"The whole team, shut up." The officers reprimanded them a few times, and the group fell silent. Yan Yizhong ordered the whole battalion to move forward, guarding near the station, a battalion of troops was quickly deployed, the atmosphere was very strange, the news of the Guanqiao area had just come, it was lost, and the regiment guarding the city was said to have only run out of half of the people, Yan Yizhong thought worriedly.

The train whistle sounded, the first battalion of the 530th regiment began to get off the train and assemble, and the soldiers jumped out of the carriages and lined up on the platform, everything was going on in chaos and busy. The follow-up third battalion was at the pit stop, and the commander of the 530th regiment, Colonel Tan Naida, got off with the first battalion.

The danger was imminent, and no one knew that the Japanese army had broken through to Lincheng.

Boom, a violent explosion sounded, a shell hit the train car, and half of the platoon of the first battalion was killed alive in the car. This was followed by the Japanese army and the dense strafing fire, and in the station, screams and curses were mixed together.

Only the strict second battalion was well armed, and he naturally took on the task of resisting, several company commanders and battalion commanders cooperated with each other, directing the officers and men of the second battalion to counterattack, the station was full of bullets flying sideways, and after the initial confusion, the gunfire of the Type 24 heavy machine gun rang out. The Chinese army also began to counterattack, and parts of the 2nd Battalion tried to knock the Japanese out, although each time they failed.

The regiment commander Tan Naida was very anxious, the most taboo in the battle was to attack half-crossing, his regiment was now in this situation, the second battalion all got off, the first battalion had just finished getting off, and had suffered a lot of losses because of the shelling in the Japanese raid just now, and the third battalion was still in the pit stop to get off.

Tan Naida ordered that the second battalion block the Japanese army, and the first battalion, which had just gotten off the train, was lying down on the edge of the platform to cover the third battalion that did not get off the train.

The Japanese army used grenadiers and infantry artillery to bombard the station, and the defending troops who resisted fought back desperately with heavy machine guns and human lives, and the originally neat and uniform railway station was simply smashed, shouting and killing, gunfire and cannons, and the second battalion of Yan Yizhong suffered heavy casualties in order to block the Japanese army, and finally only one more company of people remained, and the battalion commander Yan Yizhong was also martyred.

The second battalion blocked the Japanese army with his life, and at the same time bought time for the third battalion, after the third battalion got off, Tan Naida, who had the confidence, commanded all the troops, compressed it little by little, and finally held the station at a huge cost of casualties, buying time for the transportation of follow-up troops.

In the battle between the two armies, the brigade headquarters of the 295th Brigade and another regiment, the 529th Regiment, were transported to Lincheng, and the brigade commander Lai Ruxiong commanded the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade to fight bloody battles and stubbornly counterattacked, and finally drove the Japanese troops away and rushed to the periphery of Lincheng, and then there were continuous small-scale battles, and the two armies faced each other in Lincheng.

In the direction of Dangshan and Luofeng Mountain, Chen Daqing ordered: Completely wipe out the Japanese army! This time, the 10th Brigade was the main attacker, and the 12th Brigade assisted, that is to say, Zhang Wei and they had nothing to do. Zhang Wei lay on the position, looking at the position of the 10th Brigade in the distance, the charge horn sounded, first the artillery bombardment of the mountain artillery battalion, followed by the charge of the infantry, the attack was surprisingly smooth, the Japanese only weakly resisted for a while, and only caused dozens of casualties to the national army before losing the position.

The 10 brigade, which captured the position, found that there were not many people at all! There was only one squad of broken Japanese soldiers, and there were wounded inside!

Where did the news reach Chen Daqing, although there was a little disappointment, but it was always good news, after all, the Japanese army in the mountains west of the Jinpu Line was eliminated, but in terms of the number of corpses, the total number of people killed before and after was not even 500 people, which shows that the battle situation has begun to change, and the main force is not here at all.

In fact, the Japanese army in the mountainous area left a broken squad, and the rest of the more than 100 people all rushed to the Lincheng area to join the 63rd Wing.

"Send a report to the military headquarters, and say to the military seat that we have recaptured the mountainous area, the Japanese army has been cleared, and ask for instructions on the next move."

Chen Daqing said with a sad face, he had a bad and empty feeling. Moreover, the 4th Division also consumed a lot of ammunition in the past two days of operation, and the casualties of officers and men reached 1,000.

It's getting late, and it's even harder to do it at night.

"Alas, this battle is really weird."

The work efficiency of the operator is still very fast, the order of Wang Zhonglian, the commander of the 85th Army, was quickly translated, and with the order came the shocking news, the Japanese army has defeated Lincheng today, the 295th Brigade of the 89th Division is confronting them, and the 4th Division has knocked out, but they left a large group to contain it, and let go of many people, now the 4th Division is very unfavorable, the troops are in the northeast of Lincheng, the Japanese army did not succeed in Lincheng, maybe they will run over to fight the 4th Division at once, so he ordered the troops to retreat quickly.

Chen Daqing threw away the telegram and gave an order: "Inform all brigades to fully retreat, shrink back, and immediately retreat in the direction of Yixian."

As soon as the order was issued, the troops moved, the sky was already dark, and the retreat organization was more chaotic, and the 12th Brigade followed by Zhang Wei retreated first because of heavy losses, and the 23rd Regiment was the regiment with the largest casualties, so it became the first to retreat.

The 23rd Regiment retreated first, and the battle situation was urgent, Chen Daqing ordered Chen Chun and his troops to garrison Yixian, and the rest of the troops were deployed around Yixian.

Zhang Wei's independent company and the regimental headquarters of the 23rd Regiment acted together, and the surrounding noise added a trace of hidden danger to this retreat, Zhang Wei did not forget the possible enemy attack when he retreated, so he ordered to send a squad to disperse the vigilance.

Behind Xu Yi's platoon, Qiu Wei's platoon took the lead, He Kun and Hao Zhong's platoon on the left and right flanks, retreating in a zigzag shape, and nearby were the troops of the 23rd Regiment, they were not so easy, they had to carry wounded soldiers and supplies, and the regiment commander Chen Chunyi led the regimental spy platoon to supervise the four directions, they had to hurry up, and they were also buying time for the whole division.

The 23rd Regiment ran wildly all the way, the troops ran in front, and the containment team sent by Chen Chunyi followed behind, waiting for the soldiers who had fallen behind. Zhang Wei was sweating profusely to organize the troops, for fear that someone would be left behind, and the platoon commanders Hao Zhong and Qiu Wei shouted while retreating.

"Hurry up, keep up, don't lose it."

"The third squad leader is optimistic about your people."

After half an hour, the city head of Yixian County finally appeared in front of him, Zhang Wei looked around, and he and some people from the 23rd Regiment Headquarters became the people who walked in the front, and there was a lot of chaos behind. Fortunately, it was finally withdrawn.

Zhang Wei ordered to occupy the city gate first, and the troops were on guard nearby, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops.
