Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 422 New Battle of Xifengkou (23)
Outside the Iron Gate, the Jewish Independent Brigade completely tore up the defense line built by the Jiutaizhi United Team, and went straight to the barrier without stopping.Behind them, the officers and soldiers of the Third Xue Division and the Teaching Corps fought fiercely for about three hours. After the Second Mixed Brigade arrived, they withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to the iron gate.

In this battle, the Third School Division, the Independent Brigade and the 29th Army Teaching Corps killed more than [-] Japanese soldiers and injured more than [-]. It can be said that the entire First Mixed Brigade was completely disabled after this battle.The Xuebing Army itself also paid the price of more than [-] casualties, of which more than [-] people died in battle, which was the largest casualty of the Xuebing Army since it was established.

The battle report was sent to Ouyang Yun. To everyone's surprise, he didn't report the reward to his troops. On the contrary, he recorded a major offense for Stern and Li Ganjiang, and only rewarded Tong Linge.The reason is that they are extremely dissatisfied with the casualty ratio of the two sides. They think that when the Japanese army lacks heavy firepower support, it is a shame and a shame to fight like this.In his original words: "What do they think our Weiqing-style assault rifle is? Is it the same fire stick as the [-]th Gai? A modern army with a 'light machine gun' to fight a group of devils with only single-shot rifles. It’s ashamed to ask for credit for this. Whether it’s Li Ganjiang or Stern? All the things they learned in the military academy have been thrown to Java?”

In the eyes of outsiders, it is already very remarkable that the Xuebing Army can achieve such a brilliant victory—at least, as described by many domestic newspapers.Of course, it wasn’t that there were no newspapers who raised doubts. The Chinese army has been weak for too long, and now there is a team that can fight against Japanese pirates, but this team has nothing to do with Nanjing. As the mouthpiece of the Nanjing government, these newspapers It is inevitable to play the role of public supervision. Among them, a central newspaper with the worst words even asked without any scruples: Is the Xuebing Army so powerful?Victory every day, why don't you see it go to take back the three northeastern provinces?Didn't the chiefs clamor at every turn to fight the war to the end and restore the rivers and mountains?The Japanese are now looking at North China, but North China is someone's territory, so he can only actively fight against it.As for the so-called restoration of rivers and mountains, Jicha, Pingjin and Tianjin were all territories of the central government before, but what about now?It seems that there is no difference between Cantonese and Guangxi.And the most hateful thing is that someone obviously wants to be a warlord, but he wants to shout slogans loudly...

Ren Qiu advocates freedom of speech, as long as it does not involve military and scientific and technological secrets, any domestic newspaper can set up a branch here to sell newspapers.For example, although the sales of this central newspaper have not been good, the existence of the newspaper has its own function. Therefore, even if it loses money and makes a lot of money, some people insist on publishing it in Renqiu.

As soon as this issue of the newspaper came out, the Xuebing Military Government headed by Ouyang Yun hadn't reacted yet, but the mouthpieces of the Xuebing Army such as "Renqiu Daily" and "Renqiu Times" couldn't hold their breath.Among them, Mei Lanshu, who had already been to Renqiu Radio Station, couldn't help but published a signed editorial, severely exposing and criticizing the newspaper and the forces it represented.After her, Lu Xun in Shanghai also published an editorial titled "A Warlord Who Dare to Resist the War Is a Good Warlord" in which he unequivocally supported the Xuebing Army, and called Ouyang Yun a little friend, saying that in his lifetime he would be a good warlord. Renqiu, Pingjin and his party took a good look at the Xuebing Army and the 57th Army fighting along the Great Wall, and bowed to them and their families.

Just as the domestic newspapers started arguing over a piece of news from "Renqiu Daily", Ouyang Yun, who was pointed at Xifeng's mouth, fell into a huge panic.

His opponent, Xiangyue Qingji, was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Just as the Xuebing army spread out heavy troops along the Great Wall, the First Army of the Japanese North China Front Army started a long-distance march.The Japanese army was clearly the attacking side, but Kiyoshi Kozuki ordered the Ninth Division to dig fortifications and build bunkers outside Xifengkou, as if they were going to defend for a long time.At the same time, the rest of the troops began to rush north along the Great Wall, first to Luo Wenyu, where they fought fiercely with the defenders of the Xuebing Army for several hours. When Luo Wenyu was mainly attacking, Xiangyue Qingsi turned around and continued northward with a large army, heading for Heiyuguan.There is only one regiment-sized self-defense force responsible for guarding Heiyuguan, and then there are two regiments of Broadsword that detoured past.Dadao had already left Heiyuguan at this time, and had an encounter with the Tenth Division of the Japanese army.Da Dao wiped out a squadron of the Japanese army at the cost of more than ten casualties.Afterwards, Dadao escaped into the forest near Heiyuguan, but the Japanese army did not pursue it, but directly skipped Heiyuguan and turned to Gubeikou.

"What do the Japanese want to do?" Facing the sudden silence of the passes of the Great Wall in Hebei Province, Ouyang Yun was lost in thought.After a day and a night of rapid marching by the Jewish Independent Brigade, the chariot regiment had already reached the big barrier. After clearing out a few small enemy troops on the periphery, it will soon encircle and break through the big barrier.At this time, the Third Xue Division and the Teaching Corps once again launched an attack on the Japanese army outside the Tiemen Pass, and have already gained a local battlefield advantage.However, what puzzled all the senior officers of the Xuebing Army was that in the face of the possible loss of the big barrier, the Japanese army did not send troops to rescue them. Not only that, after resisting for half a day, the remnants of the mixed second brigade and the first mixed brigade, Sudden retreat in the direction of Xifengkou can be regarded as taking the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield near Tiemen Pass.

On the same day, a division of the 57th Army carried out a tentative attack on the Japanese garrison outside Shanhaiguan. Sure enough, it was not the [-]th Division stationed there, but a mixed force composed of puppet troops, puppet Korean troops, and Japanese troops. .The Ministry also only resisted for a few hours before giving up its position and retreating towards Suizhong.

The [-]th Division of the Japanese Army's surprise attack on Luo Wenyu was a wonderful move by Kiyoshi Kazuki. However, the fact that his large army passed Luo Wenyu and did not enter made everyone feel that this move was a bit baffling.Moreover, Oshoja is indeed the logistics base of the Japanese army. Once Oshoko is lost, the Japanese army's logistical support will definitely be a problem.

Just when Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong were exchanging their opinions on the phone, the intention of the Japanese army finally became clear.That night, after setting fire to the remaining supplies, the Japanese defenders of Oshozi began to retreat to the rear.The Jewish Independent Brigade rushed into the air, feeling like punching the air.And at two o'clock in the morning that night, the Japanese army, which had been in a state of rapid march, began to attack Nantianmen.

The Nantianmen garrison had only one battalion of the 29th Army garrison. Under the fierce Japanese artillery fire, they were completely unable to organize a resistance fortification and were blown up. Then, after holding on for half an hour, nearly half of the casualties were lost. It began to defeat Bao County.
