In the Great Wall War of Resistance, although the ratio of Chinese and Japanese forces reached an astonishing six to one, and the Chinese army belonged to the defending side, it ended in China's failure. In this battle, Rehe was captured by the Japanese army, and the east of Jicha was also It became the so-called demilitarized zone, and Beijing and Tianjin were once manipulated by the Japanese.
Once, when Ouyang Yun was studying this chapter in the military academy, he daydreamed about what he would do if he were a member of the Chinese army at that time to help the country get rid of this shame.
He actually got this chance,
The rise of the Xuebing Army alone was not accidental, and its impact on the situation in North China was so profound. Among other things, the return of the East Hebei-Chazhi is worthy of a special mention, and the victory of Tianjin is even more important. The Japanese experienced the power of the Xuebing Army and began to re-examine this newly emerged opponent, thus leading to the second Battle of the Great Wall.
Ouyang Yun had long expected that the Japanese would take action in North China. To this end, he also made many targeted actions, such as closing nearly a hundred passes of various sizes along the Great Wall. This was what he had planned ahead of time. targeted measures,
At first, many people did not understand his move. The officers and soldiers of the Xuebing Army, including the common people under their rule, believed that the Xuebing Army would one day cross the Great Wall and regain Rehe, and even the entire lost territory. Ouyang Yun's approach fell in the eyes of some radical people, but they just didn't want to make progress.
The rapid development of the Xuebing Army exceeded the expectations of the Japanese, and the dispatch of such a large force this time demonstrated Japan's determination to conquer 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 is definitely a protracted war. This is the main reason why the Japanese army opened a battlefield in Shandong. If Shandong can form a breakthrough, the Japanese army can not only bypass Hebei and directly march into Shanxi and other hinterlands of China, but also attack Hebei and Chahar formed a siege,
It was still ****. At almost the same moment as the gunfire rang out at Xifengkou, the Japanese army launched a tidal wave of offensives at Tiemenguan and other passes along the Great Wall east of Xifengkou. Zhang Gongming sent all the troops of his first division to After dispatching, the situation was stabilized. At the same time, inside and outside Tiemen Pass, the original artillery regiment of the Third Xuexi Division and the newly obtained self-propelled artillery battalion were already firing at the artillery regiment of the Japanese First Mixed Brigade. Amidst the rumbling sound of artillery, all other troops of the Third Learning Division came out of their temporary camps and quietly waited for the division commander Li Ganjiang's order to attack.
Because the ultimate goal of the Third Division was to break out of Tiemen Pass and attack the big barrier, and the defense of Tiemen Pass would eventually be handed over to Ouyang Stern's Jewish Independence Brigade, Li Ganjiang did not lay mines on the high ground on both sides of Tiemen Pass. , but directly occupied the high ground and the positions under the iron gate with a battalion of troops,
Outside the iron gate, gunfire was raging. Li Ganjiang looked at his watch from time to time and listened to the sound of gunfire. He was waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
What he didn't expect was that at this time, Stern was on the phone with Ouyang Yun, and this phone call had 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 who can command the entire army. In this regard, Ouyang Yun He was self-aware, so at this time, he did not feel ashamed or uneasy about changing his 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 happily: "Ten minutes."
"Okay, in ten minutes, your unit will replace the Third Division, leave the Iron Gate Pass, and attack the big barrier. Stern, the biggest advantage of the independent brigade is its mobility, that is, speed. I hope you will make good use of this."
Stern's tactical literacy was very high. He immediately understood that the Jewish officer did not despise the young commander because he changed his orders day and night. Instead, he was very excited. He replied loudly: "Yes, Stern promises to complete it." Task."
After talking to Stern on the phone, Ouyang Yun immediately called Li Ganjiang.
Li Ganjiang was feeling complacent when he suddenly received a call to exchange roles with the Third Division and the Independent Brigade. The Shaanxi man couldn't hold himself back. As far as he could see, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade were lining up, tanks, self-propelled artillery, and marching. The trucks started, and he asked unwillingly: "Why, military seat, why is this? Our entire division is ready for a fierce battle..."
"This is my oversight." Ouyang Yun took the responsibility on himself without hesitation, "Allowing the independent brigade to replace the third division has at least three benefits. The most important one is that the independent brigade is a mechanized brigade. The speed is much higher than that of your three divisions; secondly, the Japanese army has very little information about the independent brigade, which will make them misestimate the strength of the independent brigade; finally, the independent brigade has advanced weapons and equipment, which is more advantageous when used to attack fortresses, and the three The division is better at defense."
To the Japanese, the Jewish Independence Brigade of the Xuebing Army is definitely a mysterious force. Before the pre-war meeting, Ouyang Yun considered that as the war began, the Japs would definitely intensify their intelligence infiltration. In his conversations with Zhang Zhen and Jiang Shuren, , once quoted the words of a great soldier of Ta's era to vividly explain the current security work: treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the harsh winter, treat the comrades as warm as the spring,
Ouyang Yun's words were often unexpected. Jiang Shuren and Zhang Zhen were not frightened or amazed by him once or twice, and this time was no exception. So, it was under the influence of this spirit that Ji Cha The anti-infiltration work in the two places has been very successful. Now, unless Ouyang Yun takes the initiative to let the Japanese obtain some "intelligence", otherwise Matsui Kyutaro will not be able to obtain anything valuable from his former subordinates in North China. So, regarding the Jewish Independence Brigade, although the Japanese knew that such a force existed, they were completely in the dark about its composition and combat effectiveness.
Ordering the entire army to disband and return to their respective fighting positions, Li Ganjiang, along with several staff officers and division instructor and deputy division commander Wang Chao, stood on the hillside of a mountain inside Tiemen Pass, looking at the majestic soldiers of the Jewish Independence Brigade. He climbed into the truck and said unwillingly: "Grandma, what a great opportunity. I'm sure that after this battle, the name Jewish Independence Brigade will be on the headlines of newspapers one day."
Wang Chao looked at so many trucks, feeling envious in his heart, and said: "The military seat asked the independent brigade to attack the big barrier. This change of tactics is naturally the right one, but are they just going to rush over like this? Outside the iron gate, there are There is a mixed brigade of little Japs waiting. As far as I know, it is called a brigade, but it is actually the establishment of a division. If these Jews don't get off the bus, how can we fight this battle?"
Li Ganjiang had already seen this, but based on his understanding of Stern, he said: "Just wait and see, this Stern must have already thought of a countermeasure. This yellow man still has his own way of fighting."
