Two heads suddenly attacked, opened in the middle of Huashan, with a deep hatred and nothing could be done.
The picture shows the Flying Tigers Cavalry Regiment raiding Yamamoto's division
The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment's three battalions, led by Gao Fei Hua, were moving back and forth in front of the valley, blocking the line of sight of Nakamura's troops due to the terrain. The Japanese army's Fourth Mixed Brigade was also hiding on both sides of the mountain, unable to see anything except for the area in front of the valley. The three battalions had over 300 men, and they frequently moved back and forth in front of the valley, making it impossible to determine their numbers at a glance. However, they could only see the area in front of the valley, and nothing else was visible. If Nakamura wanted to get a clear view, he would have to move to the westernmost point near the valley, but he was too cautious and ordered his troops not to move recklessly, fearing exposure. What Nakamura didn't realize was that this was only one battalion of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, and most of the troops had already arrived at the front line. Due to Gao Fei Hua's excellent camouflage, Nakamura mistakenly believed that the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment was still in front of the valley, moving back and forth like a merry-go-round, without knowing what they were up to. It was because of Nakamura's continuous transmission of incorrect intelligence that Yamamoto's troops suffered heavy losses.
He Gang and Jiang Zhifei led the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment to the Japanese army's western position, where the intense gunfire had already covered up all other sounds. The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment saw that they were facing the enemy's back, and He Gang thought to himself: "I don't know if Chen Gang's 13th Division has arrived yet." At this time, He Gang looked up and saw three red fireballs in the eastern sky, which everyone knew was Chen Gang's signal flare. He Gang also knew that Chen Gang's 13th Division had already engaged with the enemy, but he still did not order his troops to launch a charge immediately. Instead, he ordered them to get closer to the enemy's position before attacking. They were only seven or eight meters away from the enemy, but the enemy still had not discovered them. The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment was facing the Kuga Unit, which was tightly surrounding the 343rd Brigade. The 343rd Brigade was on the verge of collapse. Kuga Heitaro held a command sword and shouted: "Brave warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, the Chinese army is about to collapse! If we add one more effort, the Chinese army will be finished!" At this time, the Kuga Unit and the 343rd Brigade were engaged in fierce combat, without realizing that the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment had sneaked up behind them. He Gang immediately held a saber in one hand and a pistol in the other, shouting: "Brothers, now is our time to kill the enemy and defend our country! Charge!"
The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment charged towards the Kuga Brigade like a meteor, with each soldier holding a saber in one hand and a box cannon in the other. The devils nearby were slashed with sabers, while those farther away were beaten with box cannons. The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment swung their sabers wildly, not caring about anything else, and chopped down the devils mercilessly. The devils' cries and wails filled the air, and all that could be seen was the flash of knives and the scattered limbs and arms of the devils.
Jiang Zhi Fei shouted loudly: "Little Chen, go and take out the devils' machine guns!" Little Chen yelled back: "I know! I know!" and rode his horse with dozens of brothers towards the devils' machine gunners. The devils' machine gunners were so scared that they dropped their guns and ran for their lives in all directions.
The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment quickly caught up with them and chopped them down like cutting vegetables, and the devils fell to the ground one after another. The Kuga Brigade was thrown into chaos.
Chen Guang saw that it was the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment that had arrived, and his spirits were immediately lifted. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment has come to reinforce us! Let's charge!" The 343rd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army immediately launched a counterattack against the Kuga Brigade.
As a result, the Kuga Brigade's position was completely disrupted, and the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment and the 343rd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army worked together inside and out, killing the devils until they cried out for their fathers and mothers.
This time, the turning point of the battle was due to Chen Gang's 13th Division and the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, especially Chen Gang's 13th Division. They quietly approached the easternmost position of Yamamoto's division, which was engaged in a fierce battle with the 11th Division at the time. Yamamoto's division did not notice the arrival of Chen Gang's 13th Division. Chen Gang immediately fired three signal flares into the sky and ordered the 1st Regiment to quickly destroy Yamamoto's mountain artillery position, as the enemy's mountain artillery was too powerful. The enemy's mountain artillery was spewing flames, with shells falling on the 11th Division's position one after another, causing a large number of casualties among the soldiers. Therefore, Chen Gang had to destroy Yamamoto's mountain artillery position first to greatly reduce the pressure on the 11th Division. The 1st Regiment of the 13th Division quietly approached the enemy's artillery position and got as close as three or four meters behind the enemy's artillerymen, who still did not notice them. At such a close distance, no sharpshooter was needed; even ordinary soldiers could kill the enemy artillerymen. The 1st Regiment raised their rifles, aimed at the enemy artillerymen, and fired a burst of shots, instantly silencing the enemy artillery position.
Chen Gang's other troops launched a fierce attack on the Little Devils' backs, and the Little Devils hadn't even figured out what was happening before they were suddenly sent to see King Yan. Because the Little Devils were caught off guard, they were instantly beaten to a pulp. If the 13th Division and Yamamoto's Brigade had clashed head-on, the 13th Division would definitely not have been a match for Yamamoto's Brigade. It was like a 30- or 40-year-old strong man fighting a 13- or 14-year-old child. If they were to fight one-on-one, the 13- or 14-year-old child would definitely not be a match for the 30- or 40-year-old strong man. But if the 13- or 14-year-old child were to sneak up behind the 30- or 40-year-old strong man and stab him in the back with a knife, it would be clear who would live and who would die. That's how Yamamoto's Brigade was defeated. The Little Devils were instantly beaten senseless, their noses blue and swollen, and they didn't even know which direction was east, west, north, or south. They couldn't understand why someone had attacked them from behind. The Little Devils were really stunned. At this time, the 11th Division in the encirclement suddenly felt that the Little Devils' mountain cannons had stopped firing. Ge Wangshan shouted: "Commander, why have the Little Devils' big guns stopped firing?" Liu Chenzhou laughed and said: "What did I tell you? I'm lucky, I've got a good fate. That damned Yamamoto thought he could send me to see King Yan, but it's not that easy." Ge Wangshan shouted loudly: "Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived?" Liu Chenzhou laughed and said: "Do we need to say anything? Luckily, I didn't listen to you guys. If I had ordered the God Cannon Regiment to counterattack, my God Cannon Regiment would have been finished long ago. Now it's time for our God Cannon Regiment to show its power." He ordered the God Cannon Regiment to destroy Yamamoto's Brigade's light and heavy machine guns. With Liu Chenzhou's order, row after row of cannonballs flew out like they had eyes, accurately hitting their targets. Yamamoto's Brigade's light and heavy firepower was instantly blown to pieces.
At this time, Yamamoto was even more shocked. He had not expected that the 11th Division's artillery regiment had not been destroyed yet. This time, the artillery regiment fully played its role, and row after row of shells accurately fell on the position of Yamamoto's division. Yamamoto's division immediately became chaotic, with heavy casualties. At this time, the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment had already merged with the 11th Division and the 13th Division.
Ge Wangshan shouted: "Commander, look! Our Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment has also arrived!" It was He Gang and Jiang Zhifei. They were leading the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, holding a box cannon in one hand and a horse knife in the other. When they encountered small Japanese devils nearby, they used their horse knives to slash them; when they encountered those farther away, they used their box cannons to shoot.
Liu Chenzhou burst out laughing: "I told you! He Gang is really capable. How can these little Japanese devils stop him?" Liu Chenzhou shouted loudly: "He Gang, Jiang Zhifei, come over quickly!" As soon as He Gang and Jiang Zhifei heard this, they looked up and saw that it was indeed Liu Chenzhou. They led the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment to Liu Chenzhou's side.
Liu Chenzhou laughed loudly: "He Gang, Jiang Zhifei, you two are great!" At this time, Ge Wangshan shouted again: "Commander, look! Chen Gang has also arrived with the 13th Division!" Liu Chenzhou laughed and said: "Great timing!" He Gang said: "Chen Gang, your 13th Division is doing well too." Chen Gang laughed loudly: "Your Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment isn't bad either!"
He Gang shouted loudly: "Commander, currently the little Japanese devils have been beaten until they're dizzy and disoriented. This is our best opportunity to break through!" Chen Gang said: "Why break through? Let's just beat Yamamoto's division thoroughly!" Jiang Zhifei quickly said: "Brothers, we must not be tempted to fight on. Yamamoto is no ordinary person; he will soon stabilize his position. Moreover, there is a Nakamura brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Guard in the valley. I believe they will counterattack soon."
He Gang said: Jiang Zhi Fei is right, if we let Yamamoto re-arrange the troops and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army counterattacks again, our situation will be as dangerous as yours was before. It's too dangerous, everyone hurry up and leave! I've already informed the 8th Route Army Independent Regiment and the 343rd Regiment to retreat immediately.
Jiang Zhi Fei shouted loudly: Brothers, let's stop while we're ahead, don't get caught up in a desperate fight or the consequences will be unbearable!
Liu Chen Zhou shouted loudly: Alright, brothers, follow me and charge out! At this time, the 8th Route Army Independent Regiment and the 343rd Regiment also launched a large-scale counterattack. The Japanese devils were retreating in disarray.
Yamamoto Shouichi was like a mad dog, barking loudly: Quickly block the gap, we can't let the Chinese army escape! But no matter how much Yamamoto shouted, our Chinese troops surged forward like a tide, quickly surrounding and defeating the Japanese devils. Everywhere were gaps that had been torn open.
Yamamoto Shouichi was furious, shouting: It's over, it's over! I didn't think that a cooked duck could still fly away! Yamamoto Shouichi helplessly watched as the Chinese troops charged out.
Liu Chen Zhou led his troops to cover the rear and let the artillery regiment go first. Liu Chen Zhou led the 11th Division to fight while retreating, and everyone ran for dozens of miles before finally breaking through the Japanese encirclement.
