Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 355 Bloody Battle at Xifengkou (Six Borrowed Soldiers)

In the Tianjin Japanese Concession, in the headquarters of the Japanese North China Garrison, Hideki Tojo's face looked very ugly in the face of Onogawa II who had returned home.Before the expedition, Onogawa described the so-called "land-air" coordinated operations so beautifully. However, facts have proved that it is so difficult to achieve "coordination" in terms of the current training level of the Japanese army.The Xuebing army seems to be completely different from the previous Chinese army, and what makes him deeply jealous is that compared with the previous situation where the three powers in the Hebei-Chahar region were standing together, the composition of the Chinese forces is much simpler now. .

Although the Nanjing Central Government of China has not issued a document to explicitly ban the 29th Army, Beiping, including the 29th Army, has now become part of the 57th Army and the Xuebing Army.But as far as the personal relationship between Zhang Zizhong and Ouyang Yun is concerned, these two forces are out-and-out allies.It was with the cooperation of these two forces that the 108th Division suffered such a disastrous defeat. Now, there are still thousands of people being used as cattle and horses by the Xuebing Army. This is unacceptable to the Japanese who have always regarded themselves very highly.If such news is sent back to China, Hideki Tojo can hardly imagine what consequences it will bring to the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Army.

It was precisely because he was worried that such an accident would happen, and also to wash away the shame of Tianjin's defeat. After seeking his support, Nanjiro reorganized the 108th Division by mobilizing personnel from several other divisions of the Kwantung Army. .Moreover, the Ninth Division was transferred over, intending to kill the 57th Army and the Xuebing Army in the bud with a hearty victory.However, the direction of the battle was beyond his and Nanjiro's expectations. It turned out that the army of apprentices was not as powerful as they knew.After the first round of fighting, the Xuebing Army not only defended Wanping, but also scared the advance troops of the Ninth Division back by relying on the chariot troops.Although the newly formed 108th Division took the initiative in Shanhaiguan, it did not completely break down the morale of Zhang Zizhong's 57th Army. If they really want to capture Shanhaiguan, it is estimated that at least one division will be invested.However, what if we broke through the Shanhai Pass?Because of the sudden attack of the two special police columns left by Yu Xuezhong, the eastern Jidong area has now escaped the control of the Kwantung Army, and Xifengkou has been occupied by the Xuebing Army.If it only marches from Shanhaiguan, what the Kwantung Army will face is the joint force of the 57th Army and the Xuebing Army with considerable strategic depth...

Hideki Tojo thought hard, and gradually became a little hesitant-should the military operations in North China be stopped now when the empire has not yet fully declared war on China and completed the allocation of troops?Before the war has entered a stalemate, perhaps it is a good idea to hold a new round of negotiations.

On the position marked as Highland No. [-] at Xifengkou, Ouyang Yun was inspecting the mountains ahead with a telescope.The traces left by yesterday's chariot battle are still faintly visible, and inside the Great Wall at Xifengkou, the Japanese army's scrap copper and iron are being dismembered and transported away on vehicles.

He Zhengsheng stood behind him and said: "Junzuo, our tanks are really good. The Japanese tanks are like toys in front of them. It would be great if we had more tanks."

Putting down the binoculars and taking a look at him, Ouyang Yun realized a problem, and said in a serious tone: "Commander He, so if we don't have tanks, we won't be able to defeat the Japanese?"

"I don't mean that, I just think that with tanks, many people will die less."

The weapons of the Xuebing Army are among the best in the world.You know, with the thickness of the armor of the "Jiguang 1" tank, it is not possible for anti-tank guns with a caliber of 105 mm or more to penetrate.As for the control of the enemy, the Xuebing R&D Institute has already begun to develop anti-tank rockets.Since the Xuebing R&D Institute developed the automatic rifle, Ouyang Yun has never worried about the problem of backward equipment. Correspondingly, he is more worried about the morale of the army and the quality of the soldiers.As a latecomer, he clearly guided that the reason why China was able to defeat Japan in World War II was not due to equipment, but to spirit—the spirit of not being afraid of death, willing to shed blood for the nation and the country.

Hearing what He Zhengjiang said, and remembering that soldiers in the Xuebing Army usually only have more than one month of military training time, Ouyang Yun knew that he should spend more energy in terms of spirit and fighting will, otherwise, no matter how powerful the weapons and equipment are, Without the determination to fight to the death, the student army might eventually be overwhelmed by the sea of ​​Japanese soldiers.We must know that in history, North China was the first Chinese territory conquered by the Japanese army after the three northeastern provinces.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Commander He, as you know, my student army has been in the army for a very short time, and the territory under our jurisdiction is only the most part of Jicha. It is such a big place, we have to support the students. It is not easy for the army, and if we want to strengthen the army on a large scale, there will be a big gap in the supply of materials. Therefore, although we have developed such a sharp tank, if we want to keep the Japanese army outside the defense line, Only with our flesh and blood—I mean, you understand?"

Before this, He Zhengjiang hadn't thought about these things at all because of his status and status. Now, when he heard the words and thought about it, he took it for granted. He couldn't help sweating a little, and said in confusion: "Mr. .”

Ouyang Yun was talking with He Zhengjiang when Bai Liusu rushed up and shouted from afar, "Senior Commander, call Ren Qiu urgently."

The telegram was handed over to Ouyang Yun. He looked at it and frowned.Although the Marco Polo Bridge incident broke out more than a year earlier, everything else seems to be developing according to the original track.After the Ninth Division withdrew fifty miles back, it actually stood still, and the 108th Division also stopped its attack on Shanhaiguan—the Japanese were trying to negotiate openly and dispatch troops secretly.It's just that I don't know if Lao Jiang will continue to make stupid moves this time.He was secretly guessing that Chen Shichang came up with several officers whose clothes were obviously different from those of the Xuebing Army.

Ouyang Yun looked over carefully, and immediately recognized that the person in charge was Zhao Dengyu. "Deputy Commander Zhao?" He immediately greeted him enthusiastically, and made a military salute naturally.

"Commander Ouyang!" After returning a military salute, Zhao Dengyu and Ouyang Yun shook hands enthusiastically, and said, "I really didn't expect you to go to the front line, but I can easily find you."

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Ouyang Yun realized that he had come from Renqiu.

Zhao Dengyu came to Ouyang Yun in such a hurry, naturally because of the current battle situation.After exchanging pleasantries, he was not polite, and directly explained the purpose of this visit.It turned out that although the 57th Army's contact battle with the 108th Division in Shanhaiguan temporarily repelled the Japanese attack, the casualties were very heavy.The reason is that the number of artillery is too small, and there are not enough anti-aircraft weapons. Under the triple blow of Japanese aircraft, tanks and cannons, if the morale is not good, it is estimated that Shanhaiguan has been lost by now.At the same time, the Xuebing Army not only wiped out a cavalry squadron of the Ninth Division, but also scared the little devils away with the help of tanks.

Reminiscent of the role played by the artillery unit of Tianjin Dajie Middle School last time, Zhang Zizhong, Zhao Dengyu and others decided to come to Ouyang Yun after discussing to see if they could borrow some more cannons or anti-aircraft weapons.
