The 59th Regiment of the 10th Division recaptured the lost new [old] Lianzhuang
Details of the battle of the 14th Division of the 10th Army (division commander Li Mo'an) in Dabaishui Village [15 kilometers west of Xinkou]:
On October 17, the enemy's attack on the positions of the 10th Division (division commander Li Mo'an) and the 28th Brigade (brigade commander Chen Munong) of the 14th Army's German Armament Division in Dabaishui Village [15 kilometers west of Xinkou] was defeated, and the main force still turned to the 21st Division of the Central Corps of our right-wing friendly army [Division Commander Li Xianzhou was wounded and treated on the 14th, and Deputy Division Commander Huang Zuxun acted as the division commander] Xinlianzhuang [Li Jianli's note, it may refer to the old Lianjiazhuang, because the new and old Lianjiazhuang in the Chinese map were mistaken, and the village names should be reversed] The area was stormed, and the 10th Division of the German Armor Division was afraid of the defeat of friendly forces, Immediately ordered the 30th Brigade of the division reserve [Brigade Commander Gu Lejun] 59th Regiment (Regiment Commander Wang Yisheng) to lead the main force of the regiment to rush to reinforcements, did not arrive, the new Lianzhuang [old Lianjiazhuang, 6 kilometers west of Xinkou, 2 kilometers west of South Huaihua] has been captured by the enemy, fortunately the regiment commander Wang Shengyi immediately decided, when the enemy occupied unstable, resolutely attacked, my 2nd battalion attached to Zhuo Ningshi heroic alert, commanded the 5th and 7th companies to first attack the new [old] Lianzhuang, and the enemy fought hand-to-hand street fighting for 4 hours, the enemy was completely annihilated, I recaptured the position, the whole line was as safe as a rock.
In the picture above, there is Dabaishui Village on the left flank, the 404th Regiment of the 71st Division of the Jin Army holding the position of Liuzhuang Village [19 kilometers west of Xinkou], and the 59th Regiment of the 10th Division of the 14th Army to recapture the lost position of the new [old] Lianzhuang. FYI.
Tank defense artillery destroyed several enemy tanks
Fu Zhaoqian, acting chief of staff of the 14th Army [Army Commander Li Mo'an], Wang Hanting, chief of the Operations Section, and Wu Zongtai, commander of the 209th Brigade, recalled:
One day, Li Mo'an ordered Liu Huan, the 83rd Division of the German Armament Division, to carry out a night attack on the enemy's position in Weicun [20 kilometers west of Xinkou] at night, and drew out a brigade of Liu Division [Liu Huan, commander of the 83rd Division of the German Armament Division] to strengthen the garrison of Dabaishui Village [15 kilometers west of Xinkou]. Liu Jian sent the 493rd Regiment (regiment commander Li Jiyun) to lead his troops to attack Weicun [20 kilometers west of Xinkou] at night. Li Mo'an sent Wu Zongtai to Haoteng Village [18 kilometers west of Xinkou] to supervise the battle.
At dusk, a battalion of military vehicle defense artillery [battalion commander Guo Dingyuan] arrived at the military headquarters. Li Mo'an decided to use 4 air defense guns, and 4 guns to the 10th Division of the German Armament Division. Fu Zhaoqian suggested sending a major staff officer, Hu Xuyi, to lead the artillery battalion with the artillery battalion to the headquarters of the 10th Division of the German Armament Division after dusk. And take care of Hu Xuyi, must be within the wall, overnight another cannon hole, do not show traces, do not sound sound, so as not to be discovered by the enemy and cause damage.
Digging and digging the cannon hole, only a part of the earthen wall was chiseled, leaving a thin soil of one or two centimeters thick, and a small prospect hole was pierced with a whole strip to aim at the enemy's tank. Wherever there are tanks, the holes are dug up in this way. In order to complete the task of drilling the blast hole in time, the engineer battalion of the division headquarters was sent to assist the small artillery battalion to start construction that night, and the blast hole was chiseled before dawn. Chen Munong [10th Division (Division Commander Li Mo'an) 28th Brigade (Brigade Commander Chen Munong)] did the same that night. Unexpectedly, the weather was cold, the soil was hard, it was not easy to chisel, and the work was carried out very slowly.
Later, everyone studied, and finally defrosted the wall with boiling water, which was slowly chiseled and scraped open, and the blast hole was done.
At dawn the next day, the cannon was aimed at the enemy tanks and shot through the wall, destroying many enemy tanks and armored vehicles at once. The enemy suffered this unexpected loss, and the rest of the tanks immediately withdrew. The situation on the periphery of Dabaishui Village [15 kilometers west of Xinkou] began to loosen a little, but we could not get back the damaged enemy tanks.
At this time, Chen Munong sent troops to rebuild foxholes and communication ditches, and returned to their original situation. The enemy continued to bombard with artillery and air every day, and sent troops to attack with a small number of tanks. However, our fortifications have been gradually strengthened, and the attacking enemy has been repulsed, so the enemy of Dabaishui has never been able to cross the thunder pool. However, due to the heavy bombardment of enemy artillery, our side still suffered casualties every day.
Liu Jian replied to his boss Li Mo'an on the phone
Fu Zhaoqian, acting chief of staff of the 14th Army, Wang Hanting, chief of the operations section, and Wu Zongtai, commander of the 209th Brigade, recalled:
The 83rd Division's Liu Huansuo's night attack on Weicun [17 kilometers southwest of Yuanping, the Japanese army's map of Mingwei Village] failed to succeed, and continued the attack the next day, fighting for a day, with nearly seven or eight hundred casualties, but still failed to succeed. [Li Jianli's note, Liu Kan didn't know that their night attack on the 16th actually killed the commander of the Japanese army in Daquan. The specific time was not stated in the memories of the three, and I put it on the 16th. ]
After Li Mo'an heard Liu Huan's report on the battle situation on the phone, he rebuked Liu Jian in an official tone and said: "Why is it that a small Weicun can't be captured after a day and night? ”
Liu Jian was angry at Li Mo'an's improper command and angry that his troops had suffered a lot of sacrifices, so he immediately retorted to Li and said: "Why didn't your 10th Division repel the enemy (during the call, the enemy tanks outside Dabaishui were not repulsed)? You also pulled me a brigade in Dabaishui, did your 10th Division fight well? Are you still going to beat me up? It just doesn't make sense! ”
Before Li Mo'an finished speaking, Liu Jian had already put down the phone, and without waiting for Li Mo'an to explain, he left by himself.
After that, Li [Mo'an] called many times, but Liu [Hu] did not even listen to the phone, and did not report the battle situation to the military headquarters. In fact, Li Mo'an was too selfish, and in order to reduce the pressure of the 10th Division of Dabaishui, he repeatedly urged Liu Jian to attack Weicun [20 kilometers west of Xinkou] at night. Weicun is in the northwest of Dabaishui, and if the attack is successful, Dabaishui will be protected from the threat of the flank. This is the best thing for the 10th Division. But Lee ignored the entire positional layout. Because Weicun is in the northwest of Dabaishui and is far away from our position, if the night attack is successful, it is necessary to send troops to defend it, so that the front is larger and the troops are more scattered, which disrupts the entire battle plan. In addition, due to the lack of adequate preparations, the night attack suffered a lot of damage, and 500 to 600 people were killed and wounded that night. Liu Jian was extremely angry, and Li was unreasonably reproached, so he added fuel to the fire and didn't even want to answer the phone.
The 10th Division of the German Mechanic Division [Division Commander Li Mo'an and the 83rd Division of the German Mechanic Division [Division Commander Liu Huan] were the second phase of the German Armament Division (German Mechanic Division) on July 29, 1936, and the soldiers were all equipped with German M35 steel helmets. It is equipped with 4,000 rifles, 324 light machine guns, 72 heavy machine guns, and 24 mortars.
