He stamped his feet and yelled: "It's easy to kill! Ha! Ha! Ha, one by one! It's also good for war, one by one!"
He stamped his feet continuously, causing clouds of dust to rise under his feet!
He suddenly threw away the butt of his gun, knelt down to the west, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mother! My son is unfilial! I can't support you till the end of my life! My son is gone! I will honor you in the next life!"
He roared and jumped down the high cliff!
Under the cliff, there are green wheat fields. In ten days and a half, the wheat will be ripe!
He jumped down! The green wheat fields rushed towards him! He seemed to have thrown himself into his mother's arms!
Many soldiers, with their faces full of tears, knelt down and kowtowed to the west, and then jumped off the cliff after him! They jumped one after another! Sometimes, several people held each other's arms and shouted: "Big! Mother!" and jumped.
Go down!
In the end, not a single Chinese soldier was left on the high Majia Cliff! Only broken rifles were left everywhere!

At ten o'clock that morning, the commander of the Ushijima Division led a large number of Japanese troops to Maojin Ferry.
He got out of the black car and slowly walked onto the pier of Maojin Ferry.
Maojin Ferry Wharf is an old, simple and dilapidated wharf. It is completely wooden, black and mottled, and seems to have hundreds of years of history. The Yellow River water outside the wharf is rolling, flowing past in piles like slurry.
, surging and solemn.
The commander of the Ushidao Division stared at the vicissitudes and darkness on the other side, feeling an indescribable fluctuation in his heart, just like the water of the Yellow River!
His predecessor, the commander of the Kawagishi Division, fought here for a year to no avail! He had to leave in shame! Now he finally occupied Maojin Ferry! He couldn't help but think that the corpses of countless Japanese soldiers were laid out here!
He turned back and saw that on the bank of the Yellow River, Japanese soldiers had set up a row of cannons. He waved his hand to the artillery commander, and the cannons roared and fired continuously towards the other bank.
He saw through the telescope that the Chinese troops on the other side were running back and forth like ants, panic-stricken!
The Japanese troops who occupied Maojin Ferry at night had collected dozens of wooden boats, which were now lined up at the dock!
He had an irresistible impulse and ordered the army to cross the river! It was this incident that caused an indescribable wave in his heart, really like the turbulent Yellow River water!
At this time, Daisuke Nakama and Kanta Yoshikawa slowly passed through the soldiers behind and walked behind the Ushijima Division commander.
The wind by the Yellow River blew their hair and clothes, but it couldn't blow the dignity on their faces!
The commander of the Ushijima Division seemed to feel it and turned back to stare at them, motionless!
Mr. Zhongjian said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I guess what you are hesitating about now is whether to cross the Yellow River!"
The commander of the Ushijima Division said sternly: "Yes! So what! You're talking about Shaanxi Lengwa! You're talking about a naked man! So what, you haven't been completely defeated by me!"
"Do you dare to cross the Yellow River?" Mr. Zhongjian asked sternly.
"How dare I not! No matter how many Chinese troops there are on the other side, they can't withstand my cannons or machine guns!"
"Then, just give it a try!"
"So what if I try!"
"Don't forget! Not only are there Chinese troops on the other side! There are also a large number of Chinese troops on the north bank of the Yellow River! They are staring at you! "Sun Tzu?
If you dare to cross the river, the Chinese army on the north bank will attack you! The Chinese army on the south bank will pester you and drag you down.
I will hold you! Until I wear you down! Your Excellency, division commander, do you dare to give it a try!"
He stared sharply at the commander of the Ushijima Division! He seemed to be competing with him for his eyesight!
The commander of the Ushijima Division sternly yelled: "Nakama! You are the scum of the Imperial Army! Even now, you are still trying to deceive the morale of the army! I will shoot you!"
Mr. Nakama shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I don't need you to do anything! I will put an end to it myself! It is because of people like you that Japan has dragged the country into disaster! I really don't want to see that day!"
As he said this, he took out a pistol from his pocket, put it against his temple, and then pulled the trigger!
The gunfire suddenly rang out, and Mr. Nakama fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust!
The surrounding Japanese officers and soldiers looked on in shock, and no one dared to move!
Yoshikawa slowly walked over and stared at the commander of the Ushijima Division. He picked up Mr. Nakama's pistol and inserted it into his waist. After that, he struggled to pick up Mr. Nakama and finally put him on his shoulders.
.
He said nothing and slowly turned around and walked away! The soldiers behind him silently made way for him!
The commander of the Ushidao Division hesitated again and again, but finally did not order the crossing!
He shouted to the staff officer behind him: "Order all units to launch an all-out attack! We must destroy the Chinese army on the north bank! Leave no one behind! Go now! Destroy them!"
The staff officer immediately ran to give the order!

For the rest of the day, the units of the Fourth Group Army fought hard in the narrow area from the south of Zhongtiao Mountain to the north of the Yellow River, looking for every gap to slip through to avoid the fierce Japanese attack!
The commander of the 1060th Regiment of the 177th Division, Gao Zhenchu, led four companies and the artillery company of the 1059th Regiment from Nanliushi Village to the north and arrived at Shicun in the west of Pinglu County.
Prepare to break through to the north into Zhongtiao Mountain. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army has occupied Hancun, less than one kilometer to the north, and immediately launched an attack!
Captain Gao had no choice but to lead his troops southward and return to Nanliushi Village to look for new opportunities to break out!
Yang Fuzhen's supplementary regiment of the 177th Division originally followed Gaozhenchu's regiment and was also preparing to break through Shi Village to the north. However, there were Japanese troops in Han Village and the road to break out to the north was blocked, so they had to retreat to Xiwu Village.
Get close to Nanliushi Village and look for opportunities.
The remnants of the 47th Independent Brigade Wang Zhenhua had only more than 300 troops after withdrawing from Cilingou. On the way to the south, they continued to collect scattered soldiers, and there were more than 700 soldiers.
Brigadier Wang was constantly pursued and attacked by the Japanese army along the way, and finally had to retreat to Zhangyu Village by the Yellow River.
But when he got here, the Japanese troops coming from Geta Village continued to attack him! He could only continue to retreat to Pinglu County in the east!

Xu Quanzhong, commander of the 529th Brigade of the 177th Division, was seriously injured just after the war started at the end of May. Commander Zhao Shoushan sent people to send him back to Xi'an to recuperate. With the approval of Commander-in-Chief Sun of the Group Army, Commander Zhao appointed Deputy Brigadier Yang Juetian
Served as brigade commander.
However, the current situation of the 529th Brigade is not optimistic!
Yesterday in the battle of Bandou'ao, the 529th Brigade was attacked by the Japanese army. The battle situation was extremely cruel!
When the battle got dark, Brigadier Yang had to order a retreat!
This morning, as soon as the 529th Brigade withdrew from Ban Dou Ao to Dalang Temple in the southeast, it was attacked from both front and rear by the Japanese army.
The 1057th Regiment of Chen Yiping (Communist Party) and the 1058th Regiment of Jia Zhenzhong (Communist Party) commanded their respective troops separately and tried their best to resist the Japanese attack from both sides! They held on until the afternoon, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.
Brigadier Yang once again ordered to retreat to the southeast and approach Pinglu County.
They had just arrived at Checun and Nancun when they were attacked by the Japanese army again!
After several days of hard fighting, the 529th Brigade has suffered more than half its casualties! The surviving soldiers have not had a bite of food for two days! Hunger and fatigue are like two pieces of stone grinding, torturing them!
They no longer dare to think about the task of defending Pinglu County! All they can do now is try their best to survive!

That afternoon, another national army unit in crisis was the teaching regiment directly under the Fourth Army defending the Loess Plateau north of Sanmen Town!
The leader of the group, Li Zhenxi, did not expect that the situation predicted by Mr. Zhongjian a few days ago would actually happen!
Just after noon, the Japanese troops coming from Zhangdian began to attack his position! The offensive was extremely fierce!
Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese troops who crossed over from Maojin arrived behind him and began to attack!
Commander Li was attacked from both sides and had to divide his troops to resist! But the situation was very dangerous! Japanese artillery bombarded his position from the north and south, and his soldiers suffered heavy casualties!
Yin Yisheng, the commander of the first battalion (communist), crouched on his waist, passed through the explosions, rushed to Commander Li, and shouted: "Captain, we are surrounded by Japanese soldiers! If this continues, the entire regiment will be wiped out!"
Commander Li wiped the sweat from his face and shouted the same loudly: "You must hold your position! Damn it, if you don't hold your position, all our troops will be blocked by the Japanese army to the west of Pinglu! We will lose the way to retreat eastward!"
"
Battalion Commander Yin's eyes were stern, and he stared at Commander Li's equally stern face. He finally said nothing and ran back to continue commanding the troops to hold on! He knew very well that he was attacked from both sides! No matter how long he held on, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long!

Yesterday, the Baishuling position defended by Kong Congzhou's 46th Independent Brigade was finally captured by the Japanese!
Brigadier Kong led the remaining troops to retreat while fighting. The soldiers had not eaten or slept all day and night, and were extremely tired at this time! However, the pursuers behind them pressed forward step by step, forcing the whole brigade to retreat continuously!
By noon today, the entire brigade withdrew to Hujiapo, west of Pinglu County, and finally stabilized its position and occupied the hill outside the village to block the Japanese attack.
The scouts reported to him that the remnants of Chen Shuoru's 177th Division had retreated to Shengeda Village, not far northeast of Hujiapo. They agreed to block the Japanese attack here and defend Pinglu County.
Soon, Lin Jiatai led a trainee to find Brigadier Kong and convey Commander Li's order.
The order stated that Zhang Jiesheng's 1059th Regiment of the 530th Brigade will attack Pannan Village in the north of Pinglu. Once the breakthrough is achieved, the troops in the west of Pinglu will retreat from Pannan Village to the east of the county!

However, the 1059th Regiment led by Zhang Jiesheng encountered obstacles in Pannan Village!
The Japanese troops who captured Maojin Ferry were one step ahead of him and occupied Pannan Village!
Captain Zhang's troops attacked vigorously, but still failed to capture! Captain Zhang was seriously injured and had to give up the attack!
He sent someone to report to Brigadier Yang Juetian that Pannan Village was difficult to capture and asked Brigadier Yang to choose another direction to break out of the encirclement!
