Lincheng, a key point on the Jinpu Line.
The train station has been blocked and has officially entered military control.
About one company of soldiers is on guard at the station.
They are the first company to get off the train.
They belong to the 530th Regiment of the 295th Brigade of the 89th Division.
The 20th Army Corps participated in the war, and the 85th Army's affiliated The 4th and 89th Divisions moved in to join the battle.
At this time, the 295th Brigade of the 89th Division was heading towards Lincheng.
In the station, there was also the Second Battalion that had just got off the bus.
The battalion commander, Major Yan Yizhong, was organizing the troops.
The chattering noise in the team made the already chaotic station even more noisy.
"The whole team, shut up."
The officers scolded a few times, and the team became quiet.
Yan Yizhong ordered the whole battalion to advance and stand guard near the station.
One battalion's troops were quickly deployed.
The atmosphere was very strange.
News had just come from the Guanqiao area that it had been lost.
It was said that only half of the defenders of the city had escaped.
Yan Yizhong thought worriedly.
The whistle of the train sounded, and the first battalion of the 530th Regiment began to get off the train and assemble.
The soldiers jumped out of the carriages and lined up on the platform.
Everything was going on in a chaotic and busy manner.
The following third battalion was entering the station, and Colonel Tan Nai, the commander of the 530th regiment, got out of the car with the first battalion.
The danger was approaching, and no one knew it.
The Japanese army had already broken into Lincheng.
Boom, there was a violent explosion, and a shell hit the train car.
Half of the platoon of the first battalion that did not get off was blown to death in the car.
What followed closely was the figure of the Japanese army and intensive strafing.
In the station, screams and curses were mixed together.
Only the 2nd Battalion of Yan Yizhong was fully defended, so he naturally assumed the task of resistance.
Several company commanders and battalion commanders cooperated with each other and directed the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion to counterattack.
Bullets were flying everywhere in the station.
After the initial chaos, the gunshots of the Type 24 heavy machine gun rang out.
The Chinese army also began to fight back, and some units of the second battalion tried to drive the Japanese out, although they failed every time.
The commander of the regiment, Tan Naida, was very anxious.
The most taboo in battle was to attack halfway.
His regiment was in this situation now.
The second battalion had all disembarked.
The first battalion had just disembarked.
In the Japanese raid just now, it was injured due to artillery fire.
Having suffered considerable losses, the Third Battalion was still entering the station and preparing to disembark.
Tan Naida ordered that the second battalion block the Japanese troops.
The first battalion, which had just disembarked, lay down defensively on the edge of the platform to cover the third battalion, which had not disembarked, from disembarking.
The Japanese army used grenade launchers and infantry artillery to bombard the station.
The resisting defenders fought back with heavy machine guns and their lives.
The originally neat train station was simply smashed to pieces.

There were shouts of killing, gunshots and cannons, and the second serious attack The battalion suffered heavy casualties in order to hold off the Japanese troops, and in the end only one company was left.
The battalion commander Yan Yizhong also died for his country.
The second battalion used their lives to block the Japanese army, and at the same time bought time for the third battalion.
After the third battalion got off the bus, Tan Naida, who was confident, commanded all the troops and compressed them outward little by little.
Finally, at a huge cost of casualties, The station was held and time was bought for the transportation of subsequent troops.
During the battle between the two armies, the brigade headquarters of the 295th Brigade and another regiment, the 529th Regiment, were transported to Lincheng.
Brigadier Lai Ruxiong commanded the officers and soldiers of the entire brigade to fight repeatedly in bloody battles and fight back tenaciously.
Finally, they drove away the Japanese troops and rushed to the outskirts of Lincheng.
It was a constant small-scale battle, and the two armies faced each other in Lincheng.
In the direction of Dangshan and Luofengshan, Chen Daqing ordered: Completely eliminate the Japanese army.
This time, the 10th Brigade will be the main attack, and the 12th Brigade will assist.
In other words, Zhang Wei and the others have nothing to do.
Zhang Wei was lying on the position, looking at the 10th Brigade position in the distance.
The charge horn sounded.
First there was the shelling of the mountain artillery battalion, and then there was the charge of the infantry.
The attack went surprisingly smoothly.
The Japanese army only resisted weakly for a while, and only gave the Chinese army The position was lost after causing dozens of casualties.
The 10th Brigade that captured the position found that there were only a small group of Japanese troops at the end of the battle, and there were also wounded people among them.
The news reached Chen Daqing.
Although he was a little disappointed, it was still good news.
After all, the Japanese troops in the mountainous area west of the Jinpu Line had been eliminated, but judging from the number of corpses, the total number of people eliminated was less than 500. , this shows that the battle situation has begun to change, and the main force is not here at all.
In fact, the Japanese army in the mountainous area left behind a broken team, and the remaining more than a hundred people rushed to the Lincheng area to join the 63rd Regiment.
"Send a report to the military headquarters and tell the military that we have retaken the mountainous area and the Japanese troops have been eliminated.
Please ask for instructions on the next step."
Chen Daqing said with a sad face, he had a bad and empty feeling.
Moreover, the 4th Division also consumed a lot of combat in the past two days.
The ammunition was not bad, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers reached 1,000.
It's getting late, and it's even harder to do at night.
"Oh, this battle is so damn weird."
The radio operator's work efficiency was still very fast.
The order of Wang Zhonglian, commander of the 85th Army, was quickly translated.
Along with the order came shocking news.
The Japanese army had defeated Lincheng today, and the 295th Brigade of the 89th Division was fighting with They faced off, and the 4th Division defeated Yes, it was just a brigade they left to contain, and many people were let go.
Now the 4th Division is at a disadvantage.
The troops are in the northeast of Lincheng.
If the Japanese army failed to succeed in Lincheng, they might come over and attack the 4th Division.
Suddenly, he ordered the troops to retreat quickly.
Chen Daqing threw away the telegram and issued an order: "Notify all brigades to withdraw fully, shrink back, and immediately retreat towards Yi County.
As soon as the order was issued, the troops started to move.
It was already dark, and the retreat organization was relatively chaotic.
The 12th Brigade following Zhang Wei retreated first because of heavy losses.
The 23rd Regiment also suffered the most casualties, so it became the third regiment.
A retreating one.
The 23rd Regiment retreated first.
In view of the urgent battle situation, Chen Daqing ordered Chen Chun's troops to guard Yi County, while the remaining troops deployed around Yi County.

Zhang Wei's independent company and the 23rd Regiment headquarters acted together.
The noise around them added a hidden danger to the retreat.
Zhang Wei did not forget the possible enemy attack when leading the retreat, so he ordered a squad to be sent to spread the alert.
Xu Yi's platoon was at the rear, Qiu Wei's platoon was leading, and He Kun and Hao Zhong's platoons were on the left and right wings, retreating in a formation.
Nearby were the troops of the 23rd Regiment.
They were not so relaxed.
They had to carry wounded soldiers and soldiers.
The regiment leader Chen Chunyi led the regiment's special platoon to supervise the supplies.
They must seize the time, and they are also buying time for the entire division.
The 23rd Regiment ran all the way, with the troops running in front, and the reception team sent by Chen Chunyi following behind, waiting for the stragglers.
Zhang Wei was sweating profusely as he organized the troops, fearing that someone would fall behind.
The platoon leaders Hao Zhong and Qiu Wei shouted as they retreated.
"Hurry up, keep up, don't lose it."
"The third squad leader is optimistic about your people."
After half an hour of turmoil, the city head of Yi County finally appeared in front of him.
Zhang Wei looked around and saw that he and some people from the 23rd Regiment were at the forefront, and there was a chaos behind him.
Fortunately, it was finally withdrawn.
Zhang Wei ordered to occupy the city gate first, and the troops were on guard nearby, waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops
