Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 405 The New Battle of Xifengkou ([-])
In the previous Great Wall War, although the ratio of Chinese and Japanese troops reached an astonishing six to one, and the Chinese army belonged to the defending side, it ended in China's failure.During the war, Rehe was captured by the Japanese army, and the east of Jicha became the so-called demilitarized zone.Pingjin was once played by the Japanese in applause.

Once, when Ouyang Yun was studying this chapter in the military academy, he daydreamed about what he would do if he was a part of the Chinese army at that time, so as to help the country get rid of this shame.

He actually had this chance.

The emergence of the Xuebing Army's lone army was not accidental, and its impact on the situation in North China was so far-reaching. Among other things, the return of the East of Hebei and Chahar is worthy of a special book.The victory of the Tianjin Great Victory made the Japanese experience the power of the Xuebing Army, and began to re-examine this newly rising opponent, thus leading to the second Battle of the Great Wall.

The Japanese would attack North China, which was something Ouyang Yun had expected for a long time.To this end, he has also made many targeted actions, such as closing nearly a hundred passes along the Great Wall, which are targeted actions he made in advance.

At first, many people were puzzled by his move.The officers and soldiers of the Xuebing Army, including the common people under its rule, all believed that the Xuebing Army would one day cross the Great Wall, regain Rehe, and even the entire lost land.Ouyang Yun's approach fell into the eyes of some radical people, but he just didn't want to make progress.

The rapid development of the Xuebing Army exceeded the expectations of the Japanese.And this time, such a large-scale troop was dispatched in one fell swoop, which shows Japan's determination to invade North China and eliminate the Xuebing Army.However, the terrain of Xifengkou and the existence of the Great Wall determined that this game between the two sides will definitely be a protracted battle.This is also the main reason why the Japanese army opened up a battlefield in Shandong. If Shandong can form a breakthrough, then the Japanese army can not only bypass Hebei and directly enter the hinterland of China such as Shanxi, but also encircle Hebei and Chahar.

It's still June 6th.Almost at the same moment as the gunfire at Xifengkou, the Japanese army launched a tidal offensive at Tiemenguan and other passes along the Great Wall to the east of Xifengkou. Zhang Gongming dispatched all the troops of his first division to stabilize the situation. situation.At the same time, inside and outside Tiemenguan, the original artillery regiment of the Third Xue Division and the newly acquired self-propelled artillery battalion had already shot at the artillery wing of the Japanese First Mixed Brigade.Amidst the rumbling gunfire, all the other troops of the Third Xue Division left their temporary camps, quietly waiting for the order to attack from the division commander Li Ganjiang.

Because the ultimate goal of the Third Division is to break out of the Iron Gate Pass and attack the barrier, and the defense of the Iron Gate Pass will eventually be handed over to Ouyang Stern’s Jewish Independent Brigade, Li Ganjiang did not plant landmines on the high ground on both sides of the Iron Gate Pass , but directly occupied all the high ground and the positions closed by the iron gate with a battalion of troops.

Outside the iron gate, guns were ringing loudly. Li Ganjiang looked at his watch from time to time, listening to the sound of guns, he was waiting for the best time to attack.

What he didn't expect was that Stern was on the phone with Ouyang Yun at this moment.And this phone call has a great relationship with the Third Division.

From the perspective of a soldier, as the "king of soldiers" from later generations, Ouyang Yun is worthy of being a qualified or even excellent soldier.However, there is a gap between him and a general and handsome man who commands the whole army.Ouyang Yun knew this, so at this moment, he didn't feel ashamed or uneasy about changing the previous order.On the phone, he asked Stern straight to the point: "How long will it take for your brigade to assemble?"

He asked directly, and Stern answered briskly: "10 minutes!"

"Okay, in 10 minutes, your department will replace the third division, go out of the iron gate, and attack the big barrier! Stern, the biggest advantage of the independent brigade is mechanization, that is, speed. I hope you make good use of this!"

Stern's tactical literacy is very high, and he immediately understood that the Jewish officer did not despise the officer because he changed his order day and night, but was very excited.He replied loudly: "Yes! Stern promises to complete the task!"

After talking on the phone with Stern, Ouyang Yun immediately called Li Ganjiang again.

Li Ganjiang was full of ambition, and suddenly received a call asking the Third Division and the Independent Brigade to switch roles. This Shaanxi guy couldn't hold back.As far as he could see, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade were lining up and preparing, and the tanks, self-propelled artillery, and marching trucks were all started. He asked unwillingly: "Why? Military seat? Why is this? Our whole division is ready to fight hard preparations for..."

"This was my negligence." Ouyang Yun took the responsibility on himself without hesitation. "Let the independent brigade replace the third division, there are at least three advantages. The most important point is that the independent brigade is a mechanized brigade. The speed is much higher than your three divisions; secondly, the Japanese army has very little information about the independent brigade, which will make them misjudge the strength of the independent brigade; finally, the independent brigade has advanced weapons and equipment, which is more advantageous for attacking tough situations, while the three Divisions are better at defending."

For the Japanese, the Jewish Independent Brigade of the Xuebing Army is definitely a mysterious force.Before the pre-war meeting, Ouyang Yun considered that with the start of the war, the little devils would definitely step up their intelligence infiltration. In the conversation with Zhang Zhen and Jiang Shuren, he quoted a great soldier from that era to give a vivid interpretation of the current security work. : Treat enemies as ruthlessly as winter, and treat comrades as warmly as spring.

Ouyang Yun's words were often unexpected, and Jiang Shuren and Zhang Zhen were not scared or surprised by him once or twice, and this time was no exception.Therefore, it was under the influence of this spirit that the anti-infiltration work in Hebei and Chahar was flourishing. Now, unless Ouyang Yun took the initiative to let the Japanese obtain some "information", otherwise, Matsui Kyutaro would not be able to do it at all. It was impossible to get anything of value from his former subordinates in North China.In this way, for the Jewish Independent Brigade, although the Japanese knew that such a force existed, they were completely in the dark about its composition and combat power.

Ordering the disbandment of the entire army, everyone returned to their positions. Li Ganjiang took a few staff officers and Wang Chao, the division commander and deputy division commander, to stand on the hillside of a mountain in the Iron Gate Pass, looking at the soldiers of the Jewish Independent Brigade. Climbing onto the truck, he said unwillingly: "Grandma, what a great opportunity! I'm sure that after this battle, the number of the Jewish Independence Brigade will be on the headlines of the newspaper someday!"

Looking at so many trucks, Wang Chao felt envious in his heart, and said, "It's right for the army to let the independent brigade make big obstacles. But, are they just rushing over like this? Outside the iron gate, but There are little devils and a mixed brigade waiting. As far as I know, it is called a brigade, but it is actually a division. If these Jews don't get out of the car, how will this battle be fought?"

Li Ganjiang had already seen this, but based on his understanding of Stern, he said, "Just wait and see, this Stern must have already figured out a countermeasure. This scumbag still has a way of fighting."
