The war in Wanping City was the first to start. After Li Tieshu reluctantly adopted a war of attrition, the advantages and disadvantages of the Wanping defenders and the Japanese army were gradually expanded. Both Li Tieshu and Onogawa Er believed that the fall of Wanping City was only a matter of time. It was only a matter of time. However, with the sudden appearance of Zhang Qingyu, this situation was changed.
In Renqiu, in the war room of the Xuebing Army headquarters, Ouyang Yun, who had seen off the American delegation, was standing in front of the combat map with a frown and thinking hard. He used a two-color pencil to draw circles on the map. , from time to time I will stop and fall into long exams,
Ordinarily, after this period of development, the military strength of the Xuebing Army has become large enough. However, due to his insight into history and the need to consider all aspects of the issue, Ouyang Yun still feels powerless when it comes to real deployment.
March 1936 is destined to be a troubled time for this country in this time and space. The Xuebing Army, a new military group, is at the forefront and cannot stop for a moment.
"Report, urgent message from Wanping." Wang Yanping, the staff officer on duty, stood at the door, holding a message and reporting loudly,
Ouyang Yun did not turn around and said loudly: "Nian."
"Deputy Commander Li called. Wanping, with the help of Zhang Qingyu's troops, had repelled the Japanese attack, but the first brigade and the second regiment suffered heavy casualties. He requested that the defense be handed over to Zhang Qingyu's troops and that the second regiment be torn off for rest..."
"Wanping is guarding." Before Wang Yanping finished reading the telegram, several staff officers in the war room raised their heads, and Ouyang Yun walked directly in front of him, grabbed the telegram, and read ten lines at a glance. After reading the telegram, he said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Zhang Qingyu did a really good job." Then, his eyes stayed on the casualty number at the end of the telegram, and the muscles on his cheeks jumped twice, showing a pain. With a look on his face, Wang Yanping did not immediately ask Wang Yanping to call Li Tieshu back. He asked about the progress of He Zheng's surrender,
"Commander He and his troops have arrived at Xifengkou. In addition, the first tank battalion and the first self-propelled artillery battalion of the newly formed armored brigade have also arrived at position No. 3, fifty miles away from Xifengkou..."
Xifengkou was actually lost during the Great Wall War of Resistance. However, after the signing of the "Qin-Turk Agreement", because the resistance in the Northeast became stronger and stronger, Nanjiro transferred back the troops stationed at Xifengkou, and The puppet troops were instead stationed. Xifengkou, as the pass of the Yanshan Mountains, was of self-evident importance for the defense of Peiping and Tianjin. Ouyang Yun would not give up such an opportunity. With her personal intervention, Mu Jiandie came forward and not only reversed the strategy of that part of the puppet army early, but also took the attack and defense of Xifengkou as the subject, the Xuebing Army Staff Headquarters formulated a series of combat plans early, and correspondingly moved the surrounding areas One is named after a certain highland or position,
After He Zhengjiang took over the defense of Xifengkou from the puppet army, he immediately began to strengthen the fortifications. Then, after receiving information from the reconnaissance team, he learned that the 9th Cavalry Regiment, the vanguard force of the Japanese 9th Division, had already left Xifengkou. When we were only half an hour away, a battalion of troops was ambushed on the hills on both sides of position No. 1 at the must-pass point leading to Xifengkou.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, on the mountainside on the left side of Position 1, Yang Kanglu, who had been holding a telescope to look into the distance, finally put down the telescope. He said to the bugler and the signal soldier beside him: "Report to the regiment, The little devil is here, raise the flag and let the brothers on the opposite side get ready for battle."
The bugler responded, took out two small flags from his body, and waved a flag to the opposite side, while the communications soldier picked up the walkie-talkie and started shouting the regimental code name,
Yang Kanglu picked up the telescope again, looked at it for a while and whispered: "Good boy, there are quite a lot of people in Yishui." Putting down the telescope, he lowered his voice and shouted: "Brothers, take cover. , pay attention to my orders."
Ten minutes later, in the sight of the soldiers, billowing dust rose from the end of the road winding through the mountains. In a moment, a group of Japanese cavalry appeared in everyone's sight. After another ten minutes or so, there were three hundred soldiers. A line of Japanese cavalrymen walked slowly and slowly towards Chaoxifengkou Pass.
"The little Japs are quite vigilant." Seeing the dozen or so Japs in the lead looking up the mountain from time to time, and the Japs officer among them even putting up his binoculars, Yang Kanglu sneered and shrank his neck.
The officers and soldiers of their regiment were wearing camouflage uniforms and even their helmets were camouflaged with camouflage cloth. It was basically impossible for the Japanese to distinguish them from the bottom of the mountain.
The Japanese officer's telescope rotated 180 degrees in front of him, as if to confirm that there was no ambush on either side. He waved his hand, and the entire team picked up speed again, running towards Xifengkou in a hurry.
"Come closer." Yang Kanglu thought silently in his heart. When the dozen or so Japanese cavalrymen in front of him passed by him, he suddenly raised his rifle and fired while shouting: "Hit."
"Fight." "Ping Ping Pong Pong", followed by a series of shouts, gunshots rang out. Later, dozens of grenades were smashed from the mountainside on both sides. Amidst the "rumbling" explosions, they were in an ambush circle. The Japanese cavalry inside were beaten until they were screaming, and more than a dozen of them were killed in an instant.
"There's an ambush, rush over." As soon as the gunshot rang out, the battlefield-experienced Japanese officer immediately shouted and issued the most correct order. He clamped his legs around the horse's belly, tightened the reins, and wanted to rush over. , However, as an officer, his target was too obvious. How could nearly three hundred cadet officers and soldiers on both sides let go of this big fish? His body had just been lying on the horse, and several rounds of bullets had already chased it. , one of the shots hit the horse's head, and the other hit his head, immediately making him and the tall horse fall down at the same time.
The attack came too suddenly, and the squadron leader who led the team died too early. The team of the Japs immediately became chaotic. Some people began to desperately try to break through the death zone, and some were thrown off by the frightened horses. Some people struggled to control the frightened horses, while holding guns with one hand in an attempt to fight back the attackers.
"Come on, destroy them." Seeing that the first wave of attacks had achieved the intended effect, Yang Kanglu immediately stood up and shouted, then took the lead and rushed down the mountain.
"Dududu." The bugler stood upright on a big rock, puffed up his cheeks and blew the charge horn. Then, the soldiers rushed out of the bunker, shouting loudly: "Kill." The weapons rushed down the mountain,
After the initial panic, the Japanese cavalry had stabilized under the control of several low-level officers. Dozens of them actually drew their sabers, turned their horses and charged towards the mountain without fear of death. However, in the face of the close firepower of the "Weiqing-style" assault rifles, their seemingly heroic actions were so stupid. After just one encounter, people and horses were beaten into a hornet's nest.
Yang Kanglu was known as "Madman Yang" when he started fighting. He rushed to the front, firing bursts with his shell gun, and hissed excitedly: "Brothers, don't let any of them run away, be brutal." Beat him hard."
