They are the targets of Japanese spies, it depends on who finds whom first!
During these three days, fighting was fierce everywhere!

Wenjiazhuang. The 97th Regiment of the 17th Division.
The 2nd Battalion of Qi Zhenluan (Total), 97th Regiment of the 17th Division, and the 1st Battalion of Changzhiya, 736th Regiment of the 46th Independent Brigade were fighting fiercely in Wenjiazhuang. At this time, more than half of them were dead and wounded, but they still stubbornly held on to Wenjiazhuang.
Home village position!
However, the Japanese army increased its troops from Xia County and added many heavy weapons. The Japanese artillery fire blew the small Wenjiazhuang to the ground! The Chinese soldiers were helpless in the artillery fire and had no ability to defend or fight back! Their pressure was increasing!
The positions they held were two hills outside Wenjiazhuang, controlling the dirt road passing between the two mountains. Without capturing Wenjiazhuang, the Japanese troops in Xia County would not be able to reach Zhangdian Town!
On the entire position, the explosion sent up mud and smoke all over the sky, and the trees on the mountain had already been blown up!
The soldiers could only avoid bomb craters one by one, trying to shoot at the charging Japanese troops!
But the Japanese machine guns were crazy and fierce, shooting at the National Army positions like heavy rain, covering the Japanese soldiers charging up the hill! The casualties of the National Army soldiers were increasing! Japanese soldiers rushed to the positions several times, and soldiers from both sides shouted and started hand-to-hand combat!
Brigadier Kong Congzhou knew the importance of the Wenjiazhuang position and sent additional Zhang Shaofei's 2nd Battalion and Chen Rixin's 3rd Battalion from the 736th Regiment to support!
But the Japanese attack became more and more fierce! Brigadier Kong sent the communications troops back to report to Commander Zhao that Wenjiazhuang might not last long!

Zhangdian Town. 51st Brigade of the 17th Division.
Sun Tzu Kun, commander of the 51st Brigade of the 17th Division, and Shen Jizhi, deputy commander (communist) of the 51st Brigade, commanded the 101st and 102nd Regiments to continue their fierce attack on Zhangdian Town, trying to reduce the Japanese attack on Zhangdian Town.
The pressure on the family!
But the heavy firepower of the Japanese army is really powerful! In addition to the bombardment of tanks and artillery, the Japanese heavy machine guns are like the scythe of death, violently firing at the attacking national soldiers!
Hu Zhenjia (Communist Party), deputy commander of the 101st Regiment, rushed to the front line and directed Li Dengyin (Communist Party), commander of the 1st Company, to launch the attack!
Hu Zhenjia, a native of Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province, joined the Party in 1931 and is a member of the 38th Military Working Committee of the Communist Party of China.
He yelled at Li Dengyin and said: "I will transfer the machine gun to you! You make a short assault! Attack!"
Captain Li directed the soldiers to assault forward one crater after another! When he reached the forefront, he set up his machine gun and fired fiercely at the Japanese troops on the wall of Zhangdian Town!
Hu Zhenjia commanded the 2nd Battalion Commander Liu Xiasheng (communist) to take the opportunity to rush forward!
Liu Xiasheng, a native of Gaoling, Shaanxi, was born in 1915. When he was young, he studied martial arts with Mr. Zhang Jiushan, the master of red boxing. His kung fu was extremely good! He joined the party in 1932 and was ordered to join the 17th Route Army in 1936.
Engaged in military transportation. He is a tough guy who can fight hard!
He directed his troops to attack forward from both sides!
At this time, the soldiers of the national army were no longer shouting and charging like in the past! Instead, according to Mr. Nakama's instructions, they took turns charging at short distances, and then lying down and shooting, focusing on hitting the Japanese army's firepower points!
But even so, the casualties of the 51st Brigade were still huge!
Battalion Commander Liu picked up his rifle and charged with the soldiers! A machine gun bullet hit his shoulder and he fell to the ground! He was dragged down by the soldiers behind him!
The communications troops sent by Geng Zhijie, the commander of the 17th Division, rushed outside Zhangdian Town at nightfall and informed Brigadier Sun to retreat!
On the night of June 3rd, Sun Tzu Kun's 51st Brigade stopped attacking and retreated to Mogou according to Commander Geng's order!
On June 4th, the 49th Brigade of Chen Jichun of the 17th Division was ordered to enter Hongshigou. Hongshigou is located northeast of Mogou, less than three kilometers away. Their mission at this time is to defend Pinglu County!

Yungai Temple. 177th Division.
On this day, Chen Shuoru, commander of the 177th Division, has moved his division headquarters to Yungai Temple. This is the second line of defense of Munan Town! Commander Chen knows very well that Munan Town is almost undefendable! He must
Defend Yungai Temple first!
Mr. Nakajian once said to him: "You can't hold on for two days!"
Mr. Chen was very worried about this and was very unconvinced!
However, the number of troops currently defending Yungai Temple is less than one regiment! The second battalion of Lei Zhanru (communist) of the 1059th Regiment has lost most of its troops in Huangcaopo. The strength of the first and third battalions is already insufficient!
Yungai Temple is built on a small branch of Zhongtiao Mountain. The mountain is not high, but it is a bit steep. A dirt road passes outside the village and is the only way to Munan Town.
Commander Chen's troops were deployed on the mountains and in the villages.
The Japanese attack was to use artillery to suppress the blockade on the mountain, and then use tanks to open the way to storm Yungai Temple!
The small village has long been in ruins, with only broken walls. The Chinese soldiers can only use these broken walls to shoot at the Japanese army! Once the Japanese tanks appear, the only way is to fight hard!
Soldiers holding grenades rushed forward one after another! One was knocked down by a machine gun, and the second one rushed up right after him! It usually takes seven or eight soldiers to blow up a tank!
But the dirt road was narrow and the bombed tanks also became obstacles to the Japanese army's advance!
Commander Chen led the 1059th Regiment and persisted at Yungai Temple for three full days! During these three days, all the soldiers, including Commander Chen, only ate two meals, and everyone was starving to death! But they persisted
Three days!
Mr. Chen was very proud. Mr. Zhongjian said that I couldn’t hold on for two days, but I held on for three days!
On the afternoon of the 5th, Commander Chen had to withdraw from Yungai Temple! Because the scouts discovered that a group of Japanese troops had crossed the mountain and wanted to cut off his retreat!
Mr. Chen’s next step is to defend Munan Town! He knows very well that there is no danger to defend Munan Town!
28-23
Cilingou. The 47th Independent Brigade.
Cilingou is located in the northwest of Munan Town, with a straight-line distance of only more than ten kilometers. It is another key point in guarding Munan Town!
Guarding Cilingou are the 47th Independent Brigade of the 177th Division, with brigade commander Wang Zhenhua, deputy brigade commander Feng Erge (communist), and their subordinate 739th and 741st regiments.
But starting from June 3, the brigade was attacked by Japanese troops from the north and west. The fierce artillery fire almost completely obscured the entire position they were defending! Smoke and dust also covered the sky!
Their position was just a few hills on both sides of a dirt road. There was no place to hide on the mountain! What's more terrible was that they had run out of dry food! In the next two days, everyone was hungry!
Brigadier Wang Zhenhua was seriously injured and had to be placed in a shell crater by the guards without even a sip of water!
Deputy Brigade Commander Feng Yige (Communist Party) had his military cap knocked off by a bullet. He ran back and forth across several positions, roaring hoarsely, and continued to direct the battle!
Feng Yige, a Shaanxi martial artist, was born in 1907. In March 1938, he secretly joined the Party after being introduced by Hao Keyong.
At this time, he leaned on half of a tree stump and looked anxiously at the position of the 739th Regiment! The place was filled with smoke and dust, and he could only see Japanese soldiers pouring towards the hill! I wonder what the situation was like there!
In the sky full of smoke and dust, groups of Japanese troops rushed to the position of the 739th Regiment!
Zhang Ziping, the commander of the first battalion, picked up his rifle, jumped up with a roar, and fought with the Japanese soldiers with bayonets! The soldiers on the position jumped up, roared and fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese soldiers!
Their bodies and faces were covered with blood, their uniforms had long been torn, and some had their legs broken by shells! But they were still fighting! They stabbed them with bayonets and smashed them with gun handles! When the rifles were broken, they beat them with their fists and hugged them. They fell together! If it was no longer possible, they took out a grenade and died together with the Japanese soldiers!
But the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain kept pouring into the position, and there were more and more of them! The remaining national soldiers were gradually exhausted!
Feng Erge desperately gestured to them and ordered them to retreat! Zhang Yinglan, leader of the 739th Regiment, finally retreated to the position of the 741st Regiment with the remaining soldiers!
Zhang Ziping, the commander of the 1st Battalion, was stabbed in the chest by several bayonets and remained on that position forever, never to come back!
The fighting continued! It was not until dark that the Japanese attack was suspended.
The soldiers on the battlefield had no food or drink. They could only lie on the battlefield and look at the ink-like sky!
Brigadier Wang Zhenhua was even more anxious. He sent people back to the division headquarters overnight to report the battle situation to Commander Chen and ask for support! However, he also knew that the division commander did not have extra troops! Counting on the division commander's support might be in vain!
28-24
Hongshigou. Ninety-seventh Regiment.
Hongshigou is located in the south of Hedong Yanchi and in the remaining veins of the southern foothills of Zhongtiao Mountain.
From a military perspective, this seems to be a hiding place for troops, and there is not much else to say.
At dawn on June 5, the Japanese troops coming out of Zhangdian Town in the east followed Chen Jichun's 49th Brigade all the way to Hongshigou, and immediately launched an attack on Chen Jichun's Brigade who had just gone up the mountain!
Hu Zhuoru (communist), commander of the 1st Battalion of the 97th Regiment, led his troops to guard the ridge on the left side of Hongshigou.
Qi Zhenluan (communist), commander of the second battalion, led his troops to occupy the hill on the right.
More than half of the Second Battalion was lost in the battle at Wenjiazhuang. Battalion Commander Qi Zhenluan was wounded in the head and waist, and his face was covered in blood. He was wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage and looked like a demon!
He yelled: "Hit me!"
The soldiers were hungry and exhausted. They didn't have time to repair the trenches, so they lay down on the hillside and shot at the Japanese army!
Commander Hu of the first battalion braved the soaring artillery fire and ran to the other end of the position.
He turned back and shouted: "Machine gun! Machine gun! Come here!"
The commander of the machine gun company, Kou Xuewen (common), rushed over with an ammunition hand, set up the machine gun and fired fiercely!
However, only a few minutes later, a string of machine gun bullets came over, and the ammunition hand was shot in the head and died! Captain Kou's arm was broken by the bullet! He bared his teeth and roared: "Fuck, there's another one alive!" (Screen Freeze)
Subtitle: "Kou Xuewen, born in 1910 in Fengxiang, Shaanxi Province, joined the Party in 1933."
Battalion Commander Hu Zhuoru rushed over, picked up the machine gun and continued shooting! But at this time, the Japanese army was gradually approaching the top of the mountain!
Battalion Commander Hu shouted loudly: "Fix the bayonet! Fix the bayonet! Fight with them!"
Before he finished speaking, a bullet flew over and hit his forehead. Blood shot straight into the sky! (Freeze frame)?
