The battle of Machang Town is small in scale, and the firefighting time is only a few hours. The total number of casualties on both sides is only equivalent to two or three of the periphery battles that were fought at Qinzhou City at the same time. However, the impact of this battle on the historical process is so far-reaching that night of Qinzhou City cannot be compared with the fierce sweeping action under Qinzhou City. Even the battle initiated by Guilin Camp, which was launched by dozens of troops, was probably difficult to compare with.

The reason why this battle was so high that historians later generations received such high praise was because Chongqing saw the Japanese Peace Army, which had been regarded as a "political symbol" in the past, as a military force, from the failure of the Japanese army's third mixed brigade in Taiwan, and the primitive value of the Japanese peace army, as a military force. This prompted the Chinese government to increase its attention and investment in this army composed of Japanese people fighting for China's interests. It was this investment that the Chinese people generally believed at that time was destined to be destined to be worth the loss, and eventually gave birth to the sufficient troops that were traversed the South Pacific battlefield a few years later and a huge Japanese-owned recruitment supporter.

Of course, these are all later stories. In fact, as far as the battle of Qinzhou alone, the significance of the Japanese Peace Army's phased victory in Machang Town cannot be underestimated.

After this battle, even the Zhongyuan Ruyi, who had high hopes for this ruthless chess that had been attached to the enemy side and forced him to divide his troops, had to admit that although the main force of the third mixed brigade in Taiwan still existed, after losing the suddenness of military adventure, it was unlikely that it would complete the original mission. It was not only aware that his wishful thinking had been turned into a castle in the air by the "traitors", but the Zhongyuan Ruyi, who was decisive in killing, could also raise the interest of discharging the Chinese army outside the city.

As of 7:00 a.m. on the 4th, the 21st Japanese Army had abandoned all the peripheral positions in its hands and lay in Qinzhou City as a completely turtle. Since then, the Qinzhou Battle has entered the most critical and cruel stage. Strike the city!

At noon, a small hill below Qinzhou City was wrapped in less than a thousand meters away from the city wall.

"The attacks of the military throne, divisions, and regiments are ready." A staff officer trotted over to report from the telegram setting hidden behind the hill and land.

"Brother Wei Li. The attack area No. 8 is that regiment." Cheng Jiaji waved his hand and pointed to the map of the divided attack area and asked Qian Shen. Cheng Jiaji, who fought hard and liked to attack freely, has never caught a cold. In addition, due to the influence of the Japanese landing in the rear, it was time for a while. As the commander of the first army, even Qian Shen was fully responsible for formulating an attack plan... The attack location of many regiment-level troops was not clear.

"Military Captain. The New 510 Regiment of the New 170 Division was attacked in the No. 8 section, and the acting leader was Xie Weng." Qian Shen said this. Seeing Cheng Jiaji showing an expression that he couldn't remember for a moment, he hurriedly explained: "This Xie Weng is the leader of the 224th Regiment of the 12th Regiment of the 12th Regiment of the Liu Qi Tiandi Independent 12th Brigade. After this reorganization, he served as the deputy commander of the regiment. A few days ago, the leader was seriously ill and he defeated the vacancies."

Some people may not believe it. Cheng Jiaji just now couldn't remember that Xie Wenhua was a god. He had dozens of troops under his command, and he had a division alone. It would be fine if it was a main force like the New 100th Division, but a deputy commander like the New 170th Division, the New 510th Division, was ignored by him in his mind. It was really normal.

"224th Regiment? Xie Wenhua! It is when guarding the 753th Highland on the Fujin Mountain. In order to preserve the strength of the land, he was forced by his subordinates to almost make it true. "My God! Cheng Junshi finally matched the person in his mind. However, the person involved would never feel flattered in this way of checking.

"This person is still cautious in using troops." Qian Shen's words are undoubtedly something in his words. Another endorsement of caution is cowardice. Cheng Jiaji immediately heard the song of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance. It seems that Qian Shen's arrangement for this attack was far more conservative than he thought, and it was probably just a large-scale fire reconnaissance. He originally planned to adjust it on the spot to strengthen the attack strength, but when he thought about the conversation between him and Lieutenant General Huang last night, the other party first stated that this attack on the army was just a supporting role at best, and then he hinted that when attacking, he must leave room for a fight against the sudden changes in the battle situation such as the Japanese reinforcements that may occur at any time. After thinking about it, Cheng Jiaji would not say anything.

Although Lieutenant General Huang's Qian Shen had some confusion on this point, it was understandable from the perspective of the Forty-Fifth Group. It can be imagined that the troops and firepower were not as strong as the other three directions. If they were to fight a mountain of corpses and blood under the city, they would first use people to pile up into the city, regardless of whether the assists were really beneficial to the overall situation, the situation of the cliff was high, which was not something Cheng Jiaji, Lieutenant General Huang and others could afford to fight along the way.

But they calculated the wrong person after all, and this person was Xie Wenhua, who had preserved his strength for half his life.

In the final analysis, there was a problem with the internal system of the New Twenty Army. Cheng Jiaji has always resisted officers treating soldiers as their private property. This "excellent system" that has been passed down thousands of miles on the land of China. It is also for this reason that Cheng Jiaji did not hesitate to risk his own vitality at the beginning of his army. He would rather clear out a group of capable officers such as Yu Juncai than keep the internal purity. The matter was done thoroughly, and the effect was not bad, but the side effects came out.

In an environment where it is difficult to form his own circle, officers like Xie Weng who became monks halfway through can only rely on military achievements if they want to move up. Not to mention, this battle was his first battle after acting commander. Even a soldier could understand that those officers with the word "agent" marked on their heads are often the hardest to fight.

Moreover, objectively speaking, Xie Wenhua, who was a company commander of the Northeast Army more than ten years ago, participated in the battle of siege of Zhuozhou for several months. Among the many divisions and regiment commanders of the New Twentieth Army, he talked about his insights in attacking and seizing the city. Although he dare not say that he was second to none, he deserved to be ranked among the top four words.

As soon as the twelve o'clock arrived, the huge Qinzhou city was suddenly formed by a vast sea of ​​people composed of hundreds of thousands of troops. It was turned into a swaying boat.

The move that Xie Wenhua came up with was actually not new at all. In the past, during the civil war, this move was often used by troops lacking artillery to attack cities and villages. To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than using firepower and heavy troops to send coffins filled with explosives to blow up the solid city walls.

After losing more than one row of brothers, the coffin was sent to the city wall, and then the fuse was sounded and the personnel were evacuated urgently. After completing this series of actions, Xie Wenhua's brothers waited for the loud bang.

"Boom." As expected, the huge roar and the swollen flying sand and stones came out one by one. When everything was settled, the overly fruitful results scared the advocates of this explosion. Not only was there a gap of five or six meters wide on the city wall. Even a long section of the city wall on both sides of the gap was shaky and was about to fall down with a push. The large section of the city wall with the outer skin of the stone was cut off, revealing soft loess.

Xie Wenhua could not have known it in advance. He exploded the land. This was a piece of cultural relics and antiques built during the Northern Song Dynasty. However, the lack of historical knowledge cannot be a reason for him to take advantage of it at this time.

A whole battalion rushed into the city in the face of the somewhat loose rain of bullets that had just been reacted. Although after the fierce battle, the Japanese were driven out like a bayonet, and they didn't take any advantage, they also lost half of the battalion's troops in vain. However, the "great contribution" that broke into the city for the first time was made solid.

Originally, this matter might not be a turnaround. As long as the general and the military headquarters suppressed it, the news would be temporarily blocked from the above. At least it would not be as well-known as it did later. It would be bad. Master Ma of the New 170th Division had a classmate who was carrying the high-level leaders of the camp. At this time, he was watching the battle at the attack position of the New 170th Division as the liaison officer of the New 20th Army stationed in the New 20th Army. As a result, before Cheng Jiaji learned about this, the phone number of the forced expansion of the battle on the other side of the camp fell to the New 20th Army.

"Let the new 100 divisions go to transfer all the artillery." Now, Cheng Jiaji is unable to do anything but the main attack. Who told his troops to take the lead in the 200,000 army. As for Xie Weng, a guy who caused trouble, he escaped because the troublemaker Cheng Jiaji was worried about not having trouble beating him. In fact, even if he had time, Cheng Jiaji dared not openly touch this hero who had been commended by the camp and appointed to be a master.

This time, it was really a fight. Under the personal supervision of a "on-site office" senior general who was urgently sent by the camp, several regiments of the New 100 Division attacked the city wall with backward construction techniques. Although they could no longer involve the land in Qinzhou, the Japanese army filled the mobile forces to the East City again and again.

In this way, the 21st Army, which originally had few mobile troops, inevitably fell into the dilemma of left-right support in advance just two hours after the full war started.

Immediately afterwards, as the attacks of other Chinese troops, inspired and spurred by the results of Dongcheng, gradually increased, the Japanese army gradually became a little unable to withstand it.

Before dusk, the first division, the honorary general of the soldiers, "ignored" the power of the heavy artillery on the Japanese warships, knocked on the south gate first, and the Japanese army, who were forced to the dead corner, immediately launched a counterattack of a gang. The two huge crowds immediately rushed together like a train colliding between the urn. The battle began with an unrestrained and intense attitude. The officers and soldiers on both sides gritted their teeth, waved military flags, bayonets, and flew grenades flying over their heads, and tangled and killed the bullets swept to their chests. The place was too narrow, and both sides could not avoid it. Every time the two giant dragons collided and opened and closed, they could often take hundreds of fresh lives.

In the official contact, within an hour, a main group of the Honorary First Division, a well-deserved honorary division composed of "returning wounded soldiers", was dying, and the Japanese corps were also injured. Not only were there layers of corpses pushed up in the corridor near the city gate, but what was most amazing was that in some places in the corridor that were blocked by the remains of the officers and soldiers who died on both sides, the blood of the bright red rolling soup was about a foot deep, and the true blood flowed into a river!

But after one starts, one regiment is gone, and another regiment is joined. In just a few breaths, another regiment's officers and soldiers shouted "I will survive if my country dies, and I will die if my country dies." They rushed into the flesh and blood slaughterhouse with a look of death. There was another fierce battle, and they were forced back by the Japanese reinforcements. Again, it was not until the four regiments of the Honorary First Division fought three regiments, and the Zhongyuan Guiyi also gathered the cleaning soldiers responsible for cleaning toilets in the 21st Army headquarters building to join the "vicious gambling" with human lives at the South Gate, and it was not until the end of the four regiments of the Honorary First Division fought over three regiments, and the Zhongyuan Guiyi also gathered the cleaning soldiers responsible for cleaning the toilets in the 21st Army headquarters building to all join in the "vicious gambling" with human lives as bets at the south gate, and it was not until it came to an end.

No matter how hard the Central Plains support it, or how many gun barrels the Japanese warships on the sea blasted, the Chinese army, with a large population, was more confident than the opponent. The Japanese side had just barely stabilized the South Gate, and before they could wait for the fear of being worried, the Sixty-Sixth Army attacking from the north exploded a section of the city Huan and broke into the city. The defenders of the North City then started a street battle with them. Seeing that the situation was already in danger, they were afraid that they would continue to fight.

Zhongyuan Quyi, who was quickly divided by the powerful Chinese army, resolutely adopted an emergency plan. Under his command, the main force of the Japanese army suddenly abandoned the opponent and set fire while retreating, and attacked the south desperately with the cover of the rolling smoke. The Japanese's move was obviously beyond the expectations of the Chinese army that had already penetrated into the city one after another. They were separated by the double barriers of the raging fire monks resisting the Japanese army in a desperate situation, and could only watch the main force of the Japanese escape.

At noon, the situation in Qinzhou City became clear. Most of the parts of the city were under the control of the Chinese army. Only the Japanese army still occupied the southern city, and the coasts and beaches outside Qinzhou were also filled with Japanese soldiers who looked like steamed buns from afar.

While the Chinese army was busy putting out fires in the city, tens of thousands of remaining soldiers of the 21st Army were busy repairing fortifications in its controlled areas.

At this point, the so-called emergency plan formulated by the Central Plains Rules was fully exposed. The Japanese rely on the powerful firepower support provided by naval ships, and re-used the old trick of turning it into victory in the Battle of Shanghai more than two years ago, defending the sea to the death, waiting for reinforcements.
