1940 65438+1October 7th, in view of Imamura's eagerness to go into battle in person, he tried his best to avenge 2 1 brigade and 5th division, and planned to fight a decisive battle with China army. Ando Rikichi, the commander of 2 1 army, ordered him to stick to Nanning for help: "Bo Tuan (that is, 2 1 army) (Long compilation of Japanese militarists' invasion of China, page 5 15. ) On the 7th, the 18 division (long-term Nancheng) and the Guards Huncheng Brigade (brigade commander Sakurada Takeshi) moved to Guinan * * *15,000 people boarded the ship from Guangzhou.

Bai Chongxi also didn't want to go recklessly with Gui Jun transferred from all over the country, and other local troops didn't want to act as cannon fodder when they saw this, so they issued new orders to change the operational deployment, and everyone insisted on it. In this way, the Japanese side won time to deploy calmly until it launched a counterattack. (After the war, Bai Chongxi, director of the Guilin Brigade of Liuzhou Audit Committee, blamed himself for the poor supervision rate of Binyang War, which was reduced from a first-class general to a second-class general; Chen Cheng, the political minister, blamed himself for his poor guidance in the battle of Binyang, and was reduced from a first-class general to a second-class general; )

However, after bitter struggle, the 5th Army suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted, so it was no longer suitable for fighting. Therefore, it was ordered to move to Si Long, Huang Wei and Taishou to rest. The offensive task was handed over to Yao Chun's 36th Army.

After three days and nights of fierce fighting, more than 200 Japanese troops were killed. However, although the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, the main force still broke through under the cover of the plane.

Counter-offensive order no.24.
1940 65438+1October 27th, the Japanese army began to counterattack: the main force of the 5th Division, the main force of the Guards Huncheng Brigade and the main force of the Taiwan Province Huncheng Brigade were all under the command of Imamura and attacked Kunlun Pass along Yongbin Highway; 18 Division and Guard Corps all formed a brigade, under the command of Jiuna Cheng Yi, advancing eastward along the south bank of Yongjiang River, crossing the river in Yongchun and bypassing Kunlun Pass. 65438+1On October 27th, Bai Chongxi held a joint military and political meeting at Qianjiang Command Post to discuss the Japanese counterattack countermeasures. Li, Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhizhong also arrived in Qianjiang. But it was also on the day when the Japanese army began its general assault that Chiang Kai-shek changed the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Theater, Zhang Fakui. At the beginning of Zhang Fakui's tenure, he ordered the 66th Army in Ye Zhao, Guangdong Province to stick to its original position and attack the Japanese army. Zhang Fakui also ordered all reinforcements to gather in Gan Tang, scheduled to attack the Japanese army in Gan Tang on February 2nd! And this order has not yet reached the ministries, and the Japanese general attack began! The war zone also urgently ordered the 64th Army (commander Chen Gongxia) of the 35th Army of Guangdong Deng Longguang, who had just been transferred from Guangdong, to rush into Gan Tang; The 46th Army of Guangxi led the main force175th Division to cross Yujiang River from Jiangkou to the north to stop the Japanese attack. In addition, the 49th Division of the 6th Army of the Central Army went south to Wulingwei in an attempt to prevent the enemy from going north to Binyang. However, these measures are too late! Japanese commander Ando issued the order to start the general attack on February 1 day: "The victory or defeat of this battle, that is, the decisive battle tomorrow, I hope all officers and men will work hard and hope they will win." ("China Incident Army Operational History", Volume 3, Volume 1, Page 73. )
1940 65438+1October 28th, Imamura commanded three brigades to attack the Fu 99th Army defending the highland north of Liutang from Sitang and Wutang. At the same time, the 18th Division sneaked into Hequ Yongchun to cross the river. Hechuan Brigade, based in Batang, cooperated with Imamura to attack the north the next day and attacked Fu's 99th Army. Although Imamura's frontal attack met with stubborn resistance from China's army, Bai Chongxi had long discovered that the real main force of the Japanese army was in the direction of Gan Tang, and was ready to outflank us from Yongchun River. Therefore, before the war, Ye Zhao was ordered to lead the 66th Army to Yongchun for protection to stop the enemy's attempt. Ye Zhao mistakenly thought that the enemy would not move, so he didn't move. However, when it was discovered that the enemy had crossed the Yujiang River and advanced towards Binyang, Ye suddenly took two divisions of the 66th Military Department (159 Division lacked temporary command 165438 Division) to intercept it. However, the enemy's main force has approached Binyang, and the situation in our rear is greatly threatened. At this point, the 66th Army was in a state of panic and disorder. The troops fled to Wuming and Xincheng, where they were pursued by the enemy and attacked by enemy planes, resulting in heavy losses. This led to the complete collapse of China's army front, and the 1st18th division of the Japanese army was able to cross the Yujiang River without blowing off dust. (1940 February 2 1, Liuzhou review meeting after the war, Bai Chongxi thought that people who participated in Ye Zhao "disobeyed orders to avoid war", and the evidence was conclusive, so Ye Zhao, commander-in-chief of the 37th Army of Guangdong Province, did not listen to orders, missed the opportunity, and was dismissed, detained and dismissed; Kelvin Chen, commander of the 66th Division of the 37th Army, was dismissed for investigation, and Song Shitai, commander of the 66th Division of the 66th Army, was dismissed for investigation. The titles of the 37th Army Headquarters and the 66th Army Headquarters were revoked. )
1940 65438+1On October 30th, after defeating Fu on 30th, Sakurada Brigade assembled and marched to the southeast. On 30th, after crossing Yujiang River, 18 Division joined forces with Sakurada Brigade on Gan Tang East-West Line and entered Binyang Plain to pursue the defeated national army. After receiving the information that the 18th Japanese Division crossed the river, Xu planned to transfer the 6th Army of the Central Army and the 5th Division of the Guangdong Army from Wuling to the south of Qiaoqiao, and set up a defense line to intercept the 18th Division north of Gan Tang.
At 9 o'clock in the morning of February 1, 1, 65438, the Japanese army took off from Nanning with seven light bombers, found military targets near Binyang, immediately bombed and hit Xu 38 army headquarters, destroyed the communication system, and made Xu lose contact with the troops. The 99th Army, the 36th Army, the 2nd Army and the 6th Army, which are defending in Tang Jiu and Kunlun Pass, have lost the command of the group army and are fighting on their own. On that day, the 2nd1Flying Team of the Japanese army was all dispatched to bomb our frontline troops and destroy bridges along the highway. As Xu lost control of the troops, the ministries of the National Army decided to start a general retreat the next day.
On the afternoon of February 2nd, 1940, the vanguard troops of the Sakurada Brigade of the 18th Japanese Division entered Binyang City. However, Imamura's 5th Division, which was attacking Kunlun Pass along Yongbin Highway, was suddenly attacked from the rear by the 64th Army156th Division of the 35th Army of Guangdong Province who came to rescue. The two armies immediately launched a fierce battle in the tombs and Litang areas southwest of Binyang. In order to stall the Japanese army, Wang Dequan, the division commander of 156, ordered his men to resist the Japanese artillery fire at all costs. In the fierce battle, the vanguard troops were repeatedly suppressed by Japanese artillery fire. The battalion commander Tang Jinsheng was shot and killed when he shouted "attack" in front of the battle. Another battalion commander, Chen Liewu, rushed out immediately and continued to attack the Japanese infantry position with his soldiers (later seriously injured). Fearing that the rear road would be cut off by China's army, the Japanese finally dared not pursue China's army northward, but concentrated their forces on attacking the156th Division. After three days and nights of fierce fighting, 156 division achieved the results of annihilating more than 500 Japanese troops and destroying 8 chariots. At the same time, the 64th Army of the 35th Army155th Division seized the opportunity to recover Yongchun, and then sent troops to carry out a feint attack on the periphery of Nanning, which made the Japanese army mistakenly think that China's army had launched a counterattack after regrouping, so they decided to stop the attack and all retreated to the south of Kunlun Pass, thus turning the corner in Guangxi. . (1940 February 2 1 day, at the post-war review meeting in Liuzhou, Deng Longguang, commander-in-chief of the 35th Army of Guangdong Province, recorded a merit. )

Binyang fell and the back road was broken, which led to the collapse of the army's morale. All of them fled hastily and parted ways along the mountain road. On the same day, a Sakurada Brigade stepped up its attack and entered the Kunlun Pass while the national army retreated in panic. Zheng, deputy commander of the 2 nd Army and division commander of the 9 th Division, was shot while retreating to Shanglin. If the 5th Division of Imamura hadn't attacked the Kunlunguan area head-on on February 2nd, and was restrained by the attack carried out from the rear by the 64th Army of Guangdong 35th Army156th Division, the China army in the Kunlunguan area would be in danger of being surrounded. (1940 February 2 1, Liuzhou post-war review meeting, Xu, commander-in-chief of the 38th Army of the Central Army, Yao Chun, chief of staff of the 36th Army, Fu, commander of the 66th Army and commander of the 99th Army, were dismissed for investigation. Cancel, Xu, Cai Tingkai's post. Zheng, commander of the 9 th Division of the 2 nd Army of the 38 th Army of the Central Army, was killed and was exempted from investigation. The designation of teachers has been cancelled, and there are no famous teachers. )
1940 On February 4th, Japanese troops occupied Shanglin, Wuming on 6th and Litang on 7th. The poor fifth army soldiers fought bloody battles for more than half a month before they captured the territory, and they vanished in an instant. When Ando Rikichi arrived in Binyang, he announced that the battle of Binyang had ended that night and that the troops should be assembled near Nanning. By the 8th, Japanese ministries stopped pursuing and returned to Nanning. On the Kunlun Pass after a bloody battle, the Japanese army inscribed a big slogan as a memorial: "Our imperial army defeated more than 30 divisions of Chiang Kai-shek and has sent back the battle data analysis of Binyang and Kunlun Pass."
