Chapter 306 Luokouling Victory (Part 2)
Outside Wuchang City, Huangpi.
The commander of the 44th Army, Liao Zhen and Liao Butcher, immediately received the order from Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhangxu.
Immediately ordered: "Tell me the order and immediately notify the 19th Brigade and the 278th Regiment, pretending to retreat, successively withdraw from the frontier positions north of Huangpi, and retreat to the second line of defense in the north!"
"At the same time, notify the other troops to increase the intensity of the attack on the other three sides of Huangpi. I must make a concerted effort to force the Japanese to go down the mountain and drive them to Luokouling!"
"Yes!" the adjutant responded immediately.
Although Liao Zhen, although ruthless and known as a "butcher", was also deeply hostile to our party, he also made great achievements and strong in the War of Resistance Against Japan and never surrendered to the Japanese.
In May 1939, during the Battle of Suzao, the 44th Army where Liao Zhen was located suffered heavy casualties, and his troops were surrounded by Japanese troops in a valley.
He said to his subordinate Fu Chengshan: "I don't want to be a Japanese prisoner. If they catch me, they will definitely use me as propaganda and capture a lieutenant general of the Nationalist Party. This will affect the anti-Japanese sentiment in China."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Zhen wanted to raise his gun to commit suicide.
At this time, another subordinate came with a local fellow villager, and there was a small path to escape, so Liao Zhen and others escaped.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Liao Zhen was injured several times and had a bullet in his chest that he had not been taken out for his lifetime.
Therefore, although Ouyang hated Liao Butcher's ruthlessness, he also admired him a little.
Ouyang Chang: "Whether it is the national army, the Eighth Route Army, or the bandits, as long as he is sincere in fighting against Japan, I will accept him!"

Huangpi Japanese Army Position.
The commander of the Japanese 106th Division and Lieutenant General Junji Matsuura frowned.
The Sichuan Army seemed to have increased its offensive intensity again, and at the same time, the bravery of the Sichuan Army soldiers far exceeded his expectations. Although the Japanese army resisted step by step, they were still very passive.
The Japanese adjutant said in a deep voice: "Secretary Commander, if this continues, even if our troops can still hold on, the casualties of our empire warriors will gradually increase!"
"Um!"
The division commander Junroro Matsuura put down his telescope, nodded, and said, "There is an old saying in China that there are so many sad and heroic soldiers in Yanzhao, and the people of both rivers will not give in to each other."
"I didn't believe it at first, but today it seems that I have to believe it!"
"Although the Sichuan Army is equipped with simple equipment, its fighting will is far more than any Chinese army we have ever encountered, even compared with our great Japanese and imperial army, it is no different!"
This is what Junrororo Matsuura praised the brave Sichuan Army soldiers.
When you meet your opponent, you will meet a good talent!
The division commander Junroro Matsuura said again: "As a soldier, it is not only our luck but also our misfortune to be able to compete with opponents like the Sichuan Army!"
At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke, a Nakasa under the 106th Division, ran in with an excited look on his face.
"His division commander, the Sichuan Army north of Huangpi, was repelled by our troops. At the same time, our army is fighting back with all its might. As long as we continue to invest more troops, we will definitely be able to tear open the enemy's encirclement net and break out!"
"Yaxi!"
Upon hearing this, the division commander Junroro Matsuura was overjoyed!
Immediately ordered: "Transfer my order, order Takizawa United, Aoi United, Ozawa Brigade, and Asoki Squadron to immediately enter the north of Huangpi. Be sure to tear open the enemy's encirclement within an hour!"
"Hi!"
At this moment, every Japanese soldier from the 106th Division was very happy.
If there is a choice, no one is willing to die!
The Japanese army, who survived in a desperate situation, immediately burst out with stronger combat power and launched a fierce impact on the Sichuan army north of Huangpi.
The division commander Junroro Matsuura kept observing the battle through the telescope and saw that the Sichuan army retreated step by step under its own fierce attack.
He was excited, joyful, and a faint disappointment.
"I am too arrogant to the Sichuan Army. Now it seems that it is just a group of mobs, vulnerable!"

Huangpi, the 44th Army Frontier Command.
"Military, the Japanese have discovered our northern position, deliberately making way for the gap and started a new round of strong attack!" the adjutant said excitedly.
"Okay, in this way, the first step to driving the dog is about to be completed!"
At that moment, the commander Liao Butuhu waved his hand and clenched his fist excitedly, "Tell me the order, order the 19th Brigade and the 278th Regiment to increase resistance, and nail me to the second line of defense position within at least one hour!"
Upon hearing this, the adjutant was puzzled.
If we don’t die, will we give up a hole and let the Japanese come out?
Why do we need to increase our resistance?
"hehe!"
Liao Zhen laughed and scolded: "As the saying goes, there will be no pie falling from the sky. The Japanese are not fools. If we do not resist, the Japanese will not be suspicious!"
"So, the more tenacious we resist, the less suspicious the Japanese. If we want to punch more powerfully, we must first be able to shrink our fists back!"
"Hahaha, the military officer is wise!" The adjutant immediately flattered and sent the order happily.

In a blink of an eye, an hour was about to pass.
The Sichuan Army in the north of Huangpi began to pretend to be defeated and retreated to both sides!
Commander Liao Zhen immediately received the battle situation and ordered: "Immediately notify the main force of the entire army to start pursuing the Japanese army and drive them to Luokouling."
"Order the 23rd Brigade and the 202nd Division to attack the left and right wings of the Japanese army respectively to prevent the Japanese army from deviating from our established direction and route!"
"Yes, the military throne!" The adjutant took the order loudly.
At the same time.
Wang Zhangxu, commander-in-chief of the 29th Army, also issued an order as soon as he received Liao Zhen's telegram.
"Order the headquarters to be directly under the various troops, as well as my guard battalion, to be all involved in the battle to drive away the Japanese army!"
This move was immediately opposed by some officers.
"Commander-in-Chief, absolutely not. If the guard battalion joins the battle, who can guarantee your safety?"
Commander-in-chief Wang Zhangxu laughed and scolded: "Ge, this time, not only will the guard battalion go into the battle, but I also have to go to the front-line battlefield and command the battle myself!"
As soon as the words came, the officers were even more dumbfounded.
You should know that Wang Zhangxu was born in 1886 and is now 53 years old. Even though he is still strong, his physical strength is definitely far inferior to that of young soldiers.
Now he still wants to visit the front-line battlefield. Isn’t this a joke about his own life?
Once it appears on the battlefield, any accident can happen!
In just one year of the War of Resistance Against Japan, many generals of the state army died of stray bullets from the Japanese army during the front line.
During the Huaihai Battle during the Liberation War, Huang Baitao, commander of the 7th Corps of the Chinese Army and a first-class general of the Army, was killed by a stray bullet from the People's Liberation Army!
Therefore, everyone tried their best to dissuade Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhangxu from the idea that he asked to visit the front line.
Seeing everyone's efforts to dissuade him, Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhangxu gave up and remained in Wuchang, commanding the battle remotely.
September 25, 1938, 10 pm.
With the efforts of more than 30,000 people from the 29th Army, the 106th Division of the Japanese Army was finally driven to Luokou Ridge and continued to pursue it until the Japanese army was forced to the central part of Luokou Ridge, and then he gave up.
The 67th Army in the north of Luokouling, Xu Shaozong's army;
The 150th Division in the middle of Luokouling, Xu Guozhang's troops;
The 5th Division of the tentative division in the southern part of Luokouling, Peng Shiliang's unit;
Highland 092 in the eastern part of Luokouling, temporary 5th Brigade, Wang Zejun's army;
The 071th Highland in the West, temporary assembly of the 11th Brigade, Gou Fugui's troops;
Northwest Highland 083, Army Special Regiment, Li Longshan tribe;
It includes Luokoudian, the northernmost part of Luokou Ridge, the White Tiger Column, and the Ouyang tribe.
The first time, everyone received the news!
The 106th Japanese Division has now completely surrounded by a large army of 100,000 people.
Wang Zhangxu, commander-in-chief of the 29th Army, immediately issued an order!
"Close the door and beat the dog!"
"At any cost, be sure to wipe out the 106th Japanese Division within one day!"
