On the whole day of April 5, the 42nd Wing launched an attack on the Nationalist forces in the area of Dagushan, but they were all repulsed. The position was firmly controlled by the Chinese defenders, and in the end, Sakamoto had to give the order to stop the offensive and withdraw from the battlefield.

After a night, Zhang Wei loosened his muscles, the position of Dagu Shan was still in the hands of the Chinese army, the 42nd Wing on the opposite side had not moved until now, and in the 23rd Regiment headquarters near the independent company, Chen Chunyi was sending a message to the upper level to report the battle situation.

"Our regiment rushed to the aid of the Dagushan position yesterday, and the friendly 89th Division and the 111th Division fought in coordination, fought fiercely until the evening, repelled several attacks by the enemy's 42nd Wing, and in addition, the independent company of the 200th Division of the friendly army, Zhang Wei's headquarters, showed the right flank in the battle, coordinated in the position of the 111th Division, launched a counterattack against the enemy in front, severely damaged the enemy's first squadron, and captured a Japanese non-commissioned officer, and performed a lot of meritorious deeds."

Chen Chunyi's telegram contains a lot of considerations, Zhang Wei has been doing elite work since he belonged to their regiment, it can be said that he has helped the 23rd regiment a lot, Chen Chunyi has kept it in mind, not to mention anything else, Zaozhuang and Yixian independent companies have made great efforts, and the killing of a cavalry team is also independent and even their own fights, these, the 23rd regiment has accounted for the light, Chen Chunyi certainly understands the foundation of being a human being, this telegram mentions Zhang Wei more, and reports truthfully, these, for Zhang Wei's future prospects and career, are very useful, In addition, Zhang Wei was born in a military academy and has a good roots, so Chen Chunyi is naturally willing to help.

Zhang Wei got up early, most of the soldiers of the independent company also woke up, and there were some people, because they were tired, they were still asleep, Zhang Wei did not wake them up, and now they are in a relatively safe period, of course, they can relax, he went down and walked around by himself, and took a look at the situation of the guard post.

The independent company camps, no matter what time to send out a sentry platoon, this platoon three shifts take turns to change the guard at night to prevent the Japanese army's sneak attack, 12 people are on duty in groups during the battle, distributed in different positions to guard, Zhang Wei walked towards a sentry post, on duty is a corporal, holding a gun, seeing Zhang Wei coming, immediately put away the gun and stand upright, saluted a gun salute.

"Hello sir!" "How's it going, is there any situation at night?" "No, sir." Of course, Zhang Wei knew that there was no situation, he wanted to get closer to the soldiers, and by the way, consolidate his "prestige." ”

Zhang Wei, as the commander-in-chief, must not only fight a good battle, but also be more close to the soldiers, otherwise he will only be able to command, and his prestige in the lower-level troops will not be enough, and the relationship between the commander and the subordinates will be out of touch, which will also be harmful to his future promotion and command.

"You rest, give me the gun, what's the call, that class? When did you enter the troops? Zhang Wei took the sentry's rifle and pulled the bolt, the chamber of the gun was obviously rubbed, but it was still not fine enough, it seemed that it was taught by a veteran, Zhang Wei rolled up his sleeves and began to clean the chamber.

The soldier watched Zhang Wei wipe the gun, a little nervous, and was afraid that this gun could not be wiped clean, could the commander kill me, and he became nervous when he spoke.

"Sir, I am the third of the Huang family in the third row and the ninth class, and I ...... this year This year's soldier. The soldier mustered up the courage and said, "I ...... I was arrested, and I have been in the army for almost a year, and I have been in our independent company for half a month. ”

"Oh, you're the soldier you replenished last time you rested, no wonder." Zhang Wei remembered the more than two dozen people who replenished him that time, and the soldier in front of him was one of them, and he didn't know how many others were still alive.

"These days, it's not easy for everyone, there are still people at home, you were arrested, what about the millions of troops in the country, there are too many, many people don't understand why this is happening, sometimes ...... I don't understand either. ”

"Let's put it this way, many people are arrested now, and there will be more and more in the future, so fight with peace of mind and fight with your life!" The soldier seemed to digest Zhang Wei's words without understanding, and he could understand the general meaning, he could fight with peace of mind, don't think too much, the soldier stood up again, took the gun that Zhang Wei had wiped, and continued to perform his sentry duties.

After Zhang Wei walked away, there was a gunshot in front, and everyone picked up the guys and prepared to fight, but the gunfire did not last long, the troops of the 23rd Regiment and the 89th Division did not make any big moves, and the independent company did not move, just stayed in place to see the situation.

The Japanese troops on the opposite side were actually already planning to retreat, and they couldn't attack, so there was no point here.

The gunfire just now was only a small-scale exchange of fire when the Japanese soldiers tested the situation, and the Chinese troops in front of them were more than defensive, but now they could not attack immediately, and yesterday was a day of bloody fighting, and the casualties of all units were not small.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the strength of about two squads of the Japanese army actually touched the position of the 89th Division, and the defenders on the position of course fought back, and the Japanese drama of these two squads was completely determined to die, and the fight was very difficult, and the grenadiers and light machine guns suppressed the position of the 89th Division, and the smoke rose on the position, and the defenders were also desperate, and the soldiers of the 530th Regiment concentrated the heavy machine guns and mortars of the whole regiment to defeat these Japanese soldiers, and they also suffered 60 or 70 casualties.

The intermittent gunfire lasted for half a day, two squads of Japanese troops were sending them to death, while the main force of the 42nd Wing was retreating, an infantry brigade and an artillery brigade, evacuated the Dagushan front line in turn, and here, they paid the price of hundreds of dead people, and they couldn't even grab the corpses back!

The sound of gunfire from a distance came into the ears of every Japanese soldier, and the gunshots of the already low morale and the death of their comrades came, and the footsteps of the team became heavier, coupled with the wailing of the wounded soldiers who lacked medical treatment, for a while, the Japanese army was silent, and some were just lamenting and helplessness in their hearts. Zhang Wei and the independent company are really idle, and the battle on this front they are on is nearing the end, in the direction of Taierzhuang.

The battle has also become clear. In the early morning of April 6, the 110th Division advanced to the west of Nigou and Zhangshan, and the 52nd Army defeated the 1st Brigade of the 63rd Wing approaching the detachment headquarters.

The 63rd Wing discarded four howitzers and tracked tractors, as well as a large amount of baggage, under Taierzhuang, and began a heavy retreat, just retreating, it was besieged by the 52nd Army, and suffered heavy casualties in the area of Zhangshan and Baishan.

In the area of Da Gushan, the 23rd Regiment of the 4th Division withdrew from its positions, and all positions were handed over to the 89th Division, and the corps headquarters of the 20th Army Corps issued a new order to the 4th Division.

"Sweep the line of Low Stone Bridge - Swallow Well, clear the remnants of the enemy, and wait for an opportunity to attack."

Zhang Wei is now standing with Chen Chunyi, looking at the urgently assembled troops, Zhang Wei does not know that the historical Taierzhuang battle situation has undergone positive changes because of his arrival, the Chinese army's counteroffensive is advanced, and the losses of the Japanese army are also greater. But for Zhang Wei at this time, the most important thing is the current operation.
