Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 400 The New Battle of Xifengkou ([-])

A tiny butterfly flapped its wings in the Amazon River, and it sparked a hurricane on the East Coast of the United States.

This is the so-called butterfly effect.

Ouyang Feng is undoubtedly also a butterfly, a butterfly that has traveled through time and space.It is still unclear what kind of changes his arrival has brought to the world.The only negative result is that the date of Japan's full-scale invasion of China has been brought forward.

In the world, a lot of great things happened in 1936.Among them, the ones that had a significant impact on the subsequent world pattern were: Germany violated the "Treaty of Versailles" and sent troops to the Rhineland; Italian troops captured the capital of Ethiopia; Established; Germany and Italy signed the "Berlin Agreement", the "Berlin-Rome" axis was formed, and Germany and Japan signed a joint anti-Communist agreement; in China, the "Xi'an Incident" occurred, which made the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party possible.

On Thursday, June 6, the second battle of Xifengkou officially started.

For the Japanese army, the commander of the First Army was Kiyoshi Kazuki, and the chief of staff was Takashi Sakai.When Zhang Zizhong's troops encircled and suppressed the original 108th Division that was organized into the North China Garrison, the two men were not only lucky to escape because they were just recalled to the country to report on their duties, but also because they were among the senior Japanese military officers who were dealing with the situation in North China. The most familiar, so he was entrusted with the important task of being able to control such a huge army.Unlike Kenji Doihara and Hideki Tojo, Kiyoshi Kazuki is more cautious, and Takashi Sakai has in-depth "research" on Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun. They didn't rush to establish martial arts like those fanatical generals in China imagined. On the contrary, they adhered to the policy of steady and steady, first deployed the defense of Shanhaiguan, and then decided to deploy troops along the Great Wall with absolute superiority. Defeat the student army first, in order to achieve the purpose of vigilance and win over the 57th army.

Although the intelligence system of the Japanese army in Jicha territory was completely destroyed because of Fox Tong, their intelligence system was quite active near Tianjin.After summing up the gains and losses of the Tianjin campaign, Kiyoshi Kazuki and Takashi Sakai were surprised to find that Zhang Zizhong could achieve such a proud record, which is inseparable from the strong support of the Xuebing Army and Ouyang Yun.After they convened a meeting of division heads and generals, they agreed that the North China strategy should take two steps, that is, severely attack the Xuebing Army, and adopt a method of equal emphasis on grace and power to Zhang Zizhong's troops.By doing this, on the one hand, they realized the threat of the Xuebing Army to the North China Raiders, on the other hand, they had to consider the Japanese overseas Chinese in Tianjin to avoid bullying Zhang Zizhong too much.And Zhang Zizhong acquiesced in their withdrawal of troops and the main force of the officer corps from the Japanese Concession, which also made Xiangyue Qingji think that his strategy was correct.

The exact time of the Japanese attack was at 04:30 in the morning. At this time, the sky in North China was just getting brighter. With Xifengkou as the center, the First Army dispatched a full six The troops of this alliance launched an attack on dozens of passes.

As the three flares rose into the still dark sky, the cannons were the first to rumble. 75mm mountain artillery, 150mm heavy artillery, and 120mm howitzer fired at Xifengkou from three positions.

In Xifengkou's reinforced forefinger, Ouyang Yun was wearing a military overcoat and was working on a military map with a two-color pencil.Standing beside him, Mu Jiandie said in a soft voice: "Xia Wenyun has made great achievements this time. If it wasn't for him, the Japanese's large-scale attack this time may not have broken through one or two passes."

Xia Wenyun was the man from Northeast China who worked as an interpreter for the Japanese under the pseudonym He Yizhi.It was precisely because he sent a confidential telegram last night that the Xue Bingjun learned that the Japanese army would launch a large-scale military operation in the early hours of this morning.Knowing that Xiangyue Qingji planned to cast nets all over the front line to fish in troubled waters, Ouyang Yun immediately ordered the local government to organize manpower and sealed dozens of small passes along the Great Wall overnight. Heavy troops were deployed on the big pass, and the self-propelled artillery regiment was moved away from the front line of Xifeng Pass.

Artillery is the soul of the army. Ouyang Yun's plan was initially suspected by the military staff.They believed that the self-propelled artillery, relying on its maneuverability, could be used to carry out devastating blows to the exposed artillery of the Japanese army. Avoiding the battle in this way, not to mention the waste, would also cause unnecessary casualties to the ground troops.

Ouyang Yun rarely explained why he did this.And his arrangement is not arbitrary, because it was agreed by Zhang Zhen and others.

When almost everyone was worried about whether the Xuebing Army could survive this test, Ouyang Yun was not only thinking about repelling the little devil's attack.Relying on the sharpness of his armor, he is planning even bigger things now, and he wants to teach the Japanese a painful lesson.When he just told Li Tieshu and others about his plan, as he expected, Li, Zhang, and Ji were all stunned, almost wondering if there was something wrong with his head.After careful consideration, he said firmly: "With the strength and financial resources of our apprentice army, so what if we can repel the attack of the little devils? If they can't eliminate their vitality, they will go back and rest for a while, and will continue to attack." Come up. So the only effective way to deal with the vicious dog is to be tougher than him, to maim him, to make him suffer from phobia, and to be afraid when he sees us."

What Ouyang Yun said was right.As a defender, you are inherently disadvantaged.The Xuebing Army can only rely on Hebei and Chahar, while the Japanese army has occupied the three northeastern provinces in China.If it becomes a war of attrition, even if it is not defeated, it will be dragged down in the end. Therefore, the only choice for the student army is to attack without hesitation, annihilate its vital forces, and create a big wound on the little devil, so that he can see Just be afraid.

Because they want to attack, because they want to fight a war of annihilation, it would be unwise to expose their strength too early.Ouyang Yun's expectation for the self-propelled artillery regiment is that if it doesn't make a sound, it will be amazing, and it will definitely be able to influence the direction of the battle.

Knowing that the Japanese army will launch a military operation at 04:30 today, Ouyang Yun woke up after two o'clock.Woke up in fright—it's a ridiculous thing to say. Back then, when he went to Beiping alone to smash the Black Dragon Club, he wasn't afraid.Later, when he led a hundred people to ambush the elite devils, he was not afraid.Now, having become the chief official of tens of thousands of people, he is actually afraid.Is this the so-called "rich man" effect?The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes?He had a nightmare. In the dream, under the siege of the Japanese army's superior forces, the entire army was wiped out, not only that.All the people closest to him fell in front of him...
