Our army counterattacked for several days and suffered heavy casualties.

In 1937, the bloody battle of Xinkou was serial 206, and Wei Lihuang ordered the defenders of Xinkou to switch from offensive to defensive

(1) Flying team: 2 reconnaissance planes, 1 destroyer squadron, 1 attack plane, and Chen Dixia, commander of the air force detachment directly north of the commander.

First, the independent detachment (Zhu Huaibing, commander of the 94th Division of the independent detachment) should immediately occupy the high ground on both sides of the barracks [13 kilometers southeast of Yuanping], the pass junction and Longwangtang [15 kilometers east of Xinkou] with a small unit, and the main force is located at the east end of Longwangtang, and cut the connection with the right regional team (Liu Maoen, commander-in-chief of the right-wing regional corps and commander of the 15th Army). After that, according to the situation, they were on standby and advanced to the area near the northeast of Yuanping to directly threaten the enemy's rear.

Second, the right regional team (Liu Maoen, commander of the 15th Army and the 15th Army, commander-in-chief of the 17th Army (owed to the 21st Division)) should immediately occupy the in-depth stronghold positions of the line of Zhangjiazhuang [8 km east of the original Ping], Jiacun [9 km southeast of the former Ping] on the north side of the southwest, Lingshan [4 km east of Xinkou] and Hepu [3 km north of Xinkou] (not included), and focus on the aspect of Lingshan [4 km east of Xinkou], and keep close contact with the central regional team (Wang Jingguo is the commander-in-chief of the Central Corps and Chen Changjie is the deputy commander-in-chief) to resist the enemy in front of them. and occupy the forward position in the east and west Ronghua villages [8 kilometers southeast of Yuanping].

In 1937, the bloody battle of Xinkou was serial 206, and Wei Lihuang ordered the defenders of Xinkou to switch from offensive to defensive

[Li Jianli's note: On October 17, the Japanese army had occupied Nanhuaihua, so the defense line of the Chinese defenders was the line of Jiehepu [3 kilometers north of Xinkou] - Guancun - Qinjiazhuang, see the horizontal line drawn in the map below:]

In 1937, the bloody battle of Xinkou was serial 206, and Wei Lihuang ordered the defenders of Xinkou to switch from offensive to defensive

  1. Left Area Team (14th Army [Army Commander Li Mo'an], 68th Division [renamed from the 8th Independent Brigade, Division Commander Meng Xianji], 71st Division [Division Commander Guo Zongfen], 85th Division [Division Commander Chen Tie], 27th Artillery Regiment [Zhang Yingqi], 2nd Division Artillery Battalion, Battle Defense Artillery Battalion - two companies owed), the commander-in-chief of the left wing area corps is Li Mo'an, commander of the 14th Army, and should immediately occupy Xinlianzhuang [Xinlianjiazhuang, now known as Xincun, 8 kilometers northwest of Xinkou] (not included), Qinjiazhuang [7 kilometers west of Xinkou], Dabaishui Village [ 15 km west of Xinkou], Weicun [20 km west of Xinkou], and Nanyu Village [18 km southwest of Yuanping] line villages and mountain strongholds, to resist the enemy in front of them, and focus on the central side; It is still necessary to ensure that the line of Jiulianjiazhuang [6 kilometers west of Xinkou, 2 kilometers west of Nanhuaihua], Lancun [10 kilometers west of Xinkou], Weijiazhuang [15 kilometers southwest of Yuanping], and Magang Village [18 kilometers southwest of Yuanping] has its own forward bases. In addition, the construction of fortifications between Liu Village [Liuzhuang on the map], Xiaotanglin [15 kilometers west of Xinkou], and Yanghu Village [20 kilometers west of Xinkou] was constructed using the village as a stronghold.
In 1937, the bloody battle of Xinkou was serial 206, and Wei Lihuang ordered the defenders of Xinkou to switch from offensive to defensive

The layout of the left-wing area is referred to the map above. As shown in the map, the line of defense on the left flank is the line of Xinlianzhuang [the correct is the old Lianjiazhuang] (not included), Qinjiazhuang [7 km west of Xinkou], Dabaishui Village [15 km west of Xinkou], Weicun [20 km west of Xinkou], and Nanyu Village [18 km southwest of Yuanping]. The second line of arrows I drew in the diagram.

The line of the old Lianjiazhuang [should be the new Lianjiazhuang], Lancun [10 kilometers west of Xinkou], Weijiazhuang [15 kilometers southwest of Yuanping], and Magang Village [18 kilometers southwest of Yuanping] are the advance bases. The first arrow line I drew on the diagram.

Fifth, all localities should make use of the mountains and villages to form fire nets, and send more small units to move in front of the positions at night to disturb the enemy's positions and occupy them according to the situation.

Sixth, the combat situation is like the left, and the line belongs to the right regional team.

The arrow line on the right is the dividing line between the right wing corps and the center corps. The arrow line on the left is the dividing line between the Central Corps and the Left Wing Corps. [Repeat in the picture above]
