Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 446 The Decisive Battle at Changping ([-])

Regarding whether to fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle, the middle and senior officers of the Xuebing Army were very divided.Objectively speaking, the Xuebing Army currently has no qualifications for a decisive battle with the Japanese army.There was a huge difference in the strength of the two sides. As far as the quality of the soldiers was concerned, except for a few regular divisions capable of fighting the Japanese army head-on, other affiliated units and reserve units, in addition to fighting and harassment and guerrilla warfare, could not be of great use.According to this analysis, many people, even Jiang Shuren, believe that the best strategy for the Xuebing Army is to use the geographical advantages to fight the Japanese army in a guerrilla war and a war of attrition. After the change, it's time for a decisive battle.

Even a layman like Jiang Shuren could see this, so Ouyang Yun couldn't have imagined it.So why did he still insist on a decisive battle with the Japanese army?

This is the unique advantage of traversers.In Shanghai, although China and Japan are still fighting bitterly, and in Shandong, the Japanese army has not yet been able to pose a threat to the rear wing of the Xuebing Army, but Ouyang Yun knows that in the near future, Shanghai, including Nanjing, will fall, and Shandong, including most of Shanxi will also fall.By that time, the Xuebing Army is bound to fall into a more dangerous situation—first of all, once it is completely surrounded and loses contact with the outside world and material transportation channels, the factories of the Xuebing Army with advanced equipment will surely become towers in the sky. It is useless. At that time, no matter how resolute the Xuebing army is to resist the Japanese, but because of the lack of supplies, it is very likely that it will end up in a situation where it will run out of ammunition and food; secondly, another advantage of a decisive battle with the Japanese army as soon as possible is that if once Being able to win will definitely have an impact on the situation of the war of resistance in Shanghai and Shandong. This is not only a matter of forcing the Japanese army to make changes to the general policy and reducing the pressure on the local defenders, but more importantly, the national army is good at fighting with the wind Perhaps under the influence of the victory of the Hebei-Chahar War of Resistance, there will be a big explosion, and it may change the situation of the entire front from now on.

Ouyang Yun didn't reveal his analysis to the public, he just made himself appear particularly confident and used this mental state to influence the people around him.He has indeed influenced many people. It is precisely because the little chief has shown such confidence in winning that the three main brigades of the three divisions who followed him marched in a hurry. Before the decisive battle in Changping, they created a Miraculously, the 18th Brigade of the Ninth Division was almost wiped out.

Zhang Yantian is one of the people who was not influenced by him, this is of course related to his old experience in the army.On the other hand, maybe, just because from the bottom of his heart, he didn't regard himself as a member of the army of apprentices at all.About Ouyang Yun's decision to fight the Japanese army in Changping, Zhang Yantian just heard something from hearsay, but he didn't believe it because he didn't think Ouyang Yun would do such a stupid thing.Now, after personally confirming the matter from Ouyang Yun, his first reaction was not to be surprised, but to feel half-cool, because it meant that he might not be successful this time, and instead waded into the muddy water.Without hesitation, he expressed his opinion without reservation: "Junzuo, isn't this just what the Japanese want? The Japanese are in North China, and what they fear is our student army. Once our student army collapses Now, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Ouyang Yun listened to him patiently, smiled lightly, and asked, "Do you think we will definitely lose?"

I slandered in my heart: Isn't this obvious?With emotion, it is good for young people to be aggressive, but being impatient is the worst thing in a high position.Zhang Yantian said: "Although we may not lose, we are only a local army with limited development. Behind the First Army, there are the North China Front Army, the Kwantung Army, and the Military Seat. What we are facing this time is not just a single army. The Japanese army of the army!"

"I understand. But the more this is the case, the more we have to show the prestige of the army of soldiers. Brigadier Zhang, have you participated in the first Great Wall War?"

"Participated..." Zhang Yantian was only a regiment leader at that time, he clearly remembered the battle at Nantianmen, the national army was obviously several times stronger than the Japanese army, but they couldn't win the opponent.The little devil's cannons are too sharp, and what is even more deadly are those planes that drop iron bumps from time to time... Thinking of his brothers and comrades who died at the Great Wall Pass, Zhang Yantian's face turned red and his mood fluctuated a little.

Ouyang Yun turned his eyes to the distance, officers and soldiers from the third brigade of the first division were digging fortifications around Wangjiawei.The main force of the Japanese army came from Huairou. Unsurprisingly, this place would become the main battlefield. Ouyang Yun observed the terrain here during the march, and finally decided not to enter Changping City, and treated this place as the main battlefield.Once Wangjiawei is under full control, not only can the troops in Changping City be coordinated with the rest of the 29th and 57th Divisions to form a pincer attack, but also the first blocking position against the large Japanese troops can be formed.Although in this way, it is very likely to be attacked from both sides, but don't forget that in Huairou, there are still two divisions of the [-]th Army watching. Moreover, Zhang Zizhong's [-]th Army is not vegetarian, and will join the battlefield sooner or later.

The situation was far from as bad as Jiang Shuren and the others had imagined. To get to this point step by step, Ouyang Yun's confidence, which he didn't have at first, was getting more and more inflated.

What he said next was a bit rambling: "The Japanese are generally shorter than us. From this point of view, their physical fitness should be inferior to ours. From the perspective of weapons, I always think that the Chinese are worse than the 35th Dagai. Yes, although the national army is far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of heavy weapons and even special weapons. However, can more than 35 devils really defeat an army of 35 with just planes, cannons, and tanks? Although the first Great Wall War failed in the end, But how many of the [-] people actually died in battle? If these [-] people are all willing to die, like General He Zhuguo and his subordinates, are they willing to fight to the death, will we really lose?..."

A series of questions made Zhang Yantian's flushed face turn paler and turn red again after experiencing this battle.It is true that as a latecomer to evaluate the past, because many specific circumstances at that time can no longer be explained clearly, it is unavoidable to be suspected of being "an afterthought". However, if all the Chinese defenders at that time were willing to fight to the death, the victory of the first Great Wall War It's hard to say who Fang is.As one of those who experienced it, although three years have passed, Zhang Yantian has not forgotten the scene at that time.But at this moment when Ouyang Yun mentioned it, he realized that he actually felt ashamed.Yes, if all the Chinese defenders were willing to die at that time, it is really unknown who will win in the end!Then, the situation in North China today will certainly not be so bad, and even the Northeast Army and the Central Army do not need to evacuate at all... Thinking of this, Zhang Yantian suddenly raised his head to look at Ouyang Yun, and said firmly: "Mr. Talking big, but this time, you can just watch me and all the brothers of the special police second column, we will not embarrass our military flag again! Grandma, it’s a big deal, I will fight with the little devil!"
