Broadsword and Langya finally took action, and they gave people a stunning feeling when they made their move. The change of ownership in Yanqing not only put the main force of the Japanese First Army into a dilemma of gain and loss, but also threatened the rear wing security of the troops directly under the North China Front. This is Ji Xingwen does not have enough troops, otherwise he will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack from both front and back. In that case, the old devil Juichi Terauchi will be in trouble.
Precisely because of the fear of being flanked, Juichi Terauchi gave up the original strategy of Yunzhou and retreated to Akagi. At the same time, he ordered the First Army to move towards Akagi, abandoned the original strategy of Jicha, and instead "recovered" Yanqing in advance to ensure that The rear of the front army was clear, and Tojo Hideki was asked to stop his military operations in Doron and turn southward to join the main force of the front army to accumulate strength for the next stage of the war.
In the direction of Huairou, after Qin Dechun led two divisions to attack, the Japanese brigade stationed outside the city was forced to retreat towards the main force of the First Army, which was equivalent to giving up another way to the outside of the Great Wall. In this way, because it was necessary to After taking out the Ninth Division, the 108th Division and the independent mixed First Brigade, the Japanese army could only move towards Wangjiawei. Next, if they wanted to carry out Juichi Terauchi's order and move towards Akagi, they would have no choice but to move towards Akagi. This is the line of Bagua Pass,
In the armored command vehicle following the pursuit of the army, Ouyang Yun was smoking a cigarette while quietly listening to a military staff officer named Huang Feihong analyzing the war situation. A few minutes after Huang Feihong finished speaking, he pinched He put out his cigarette butt and asked, "Gu Mingchang and Zhang Yantian, have they reached Bagua Pass?"
"It's already here. It arrived at around seven o'clock this morning. This is the telegram they sent back." After Huang Feihong finished speaking, he took out a telegram from his personal document bag and handed it to Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun looked at it and found that it mentioned that they were seizing the time to build fortifications. He smiled and said: "Give Gu Zhang electricity to prepare for a tough battle. It is best to make a beautiful ambush first and tell them I will ask Tielin Fei and others to give them full support. By the way, how are Guo Biao and his friends over there, and how are the puppet troops reforming?"
"The latest information has not been sent back yet." It was Pan Meiren who said this. The passenger capacity of the armored command vehicle was too low. In addition to Ouyang Yun and his newly arrived personal guard Du Changfei, there were Pan Meiren and Huang Feihong inside, and Huang Feihong was there. The reason why Feihong, a returned overseas Chinese, became a popular figure among the junior officers so quickly was because the lower-level units of the Cadet Army lacked staff talents. Therefore, once he was trained around Ouyang Yun, he was immediately sent down to support his own side. Heaven and earth,
Pan Meiren has been following the troops during this period, and the circles under her eyes have turned black. Ouyang Yun nodded, glanced at her, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said softly: "You should rest for a while, this pursuit is just for show, the real thing is It's still early for a big battle, so take the time to rest. Xiao Huang, Xiao Du, you should also close your eyes and take a nap. It is estimated that there will be another big battle in the evening."
"Military, we are not tired, but you haven't slept for two days and two nights."
"Ouyang, you should also take a rest."
Ouyang Yun laughed loudly: "I'm not tired, who am I?" Pushing the three people back to their seats, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Pangolin, leopard, tiger, coyote, bear , this is the lair, there will be a big meal today, remember the troops take turns to rest, especially the Leopard Head and Tiger Head."
"I am a leopard (pangolin, tiger, hyena, bear), received, completed."
In an armored vehicle more than ten kilometers away, Tong Linge hung up the microphone, looked at the men around him and said, "This thing is great. It is very convenient to use for commanding operations. However, these Isn’t the code name a bit too vulgar?”
Several officers laughed, and one of them, the colonel, said: "This is what the junior officer came up with. After all, he is young. Haha, it is understandable that he likes to fool around."
A major immediately raised an objection: "It's definitely not nonsense. This is done to prevent the enemy from learning the formation of our troops through eavesdropping."
This major is the only one among the many officers in the teaching corps who has received training in Renqiu. He has won the trust of Tong Linge.
Tong Linge nodded: "That's the truth, Geng Le, tell me, based on your observation, what is the advantage of the Xuebing Army compared with our army?"
If the old general's words had been put forward in the past, he would have definitely aroused a lot of opposition on the spot. However, since he has been fighting with the Xubing Army for a period of time, especially after changing the opponent's weapons and equipment, now, no one has I am skeptical about it. On the battlefield, everything depends on strength. There is no doubt that the Xuebing Army is indeed a very young army. However, its strong combat power and the strong military quality of its soldiers. It has been recognized by these old troops,
Geng Le thought for a while and said: "The key is the concept. General, don't you think that many aspects of the student army are very similar to the GCD army? The officers and soldiers share the joys and sorrows, and they will never disturb the people stationed there. These are all guarantees for this team. The nobility and the centripetal force of the officers and soldiers, but..." He frowned, seeming to be looking for words,
But to other people's ears, it sounds completely appetizing.
"Keep talking."
"Don't whet your appetite, okay."
Tong Linge smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.
Geng Le glanced at everyone, and finally cast his eyes on the face of the highest officer, and whispered: "I don't know why, but I always feel that everything shown by Xue Bingjun gives people a false feeling, well, it is just unreliable. Regardless of whether it is a political system or a military system, although this force is currently very powerful, I always feel that its defeat will be equally astonishing."
"Defeat." Except for Tong Linge, everyone opened their mouths and widened their eyes.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation of the Xuebing Army as being in full swing. However, this boy Geng Le actually mentioned "defeat" and also concluded that the speed will be very fast. This boy is playing tricks on his head and talking nonsense. Or did he really master some secrets? Everyone followed General Tong and directly joined the Xuebing Army to fight. Many people had made up their mind to settle down here from now on. But if the Xuebing Army was really nothing more than If things go by in a blink of an eye, they have to reconsider.
There was silence in the armored car for a while. After a long while, the colonel who spoke first shouted: "Geng Le, you kid is just an alarmist."
Geng Le smiled bitterly: "I hope so, but..." Before he finished speaking, he shook his head and gritted his teeth and continued: "As long as Ouyang Yun doesn't die, I believe that the Xuebing Army will rise again faster. "
Colonel: "I'm confused."
Tong Linge looked at Geng Le and smiled, patted him on the shoulder for a long time and said: "Good boy, you really deserve Ren Qiu and his party. You have grown up. Haha, if the teaching team can still be outstanding in the future, If so, I have to rely on you."
Everyone else immediately turned their attention to Geng Le, but the latter couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and quickly waved his hands: "General, don't make this joke, you are so virtuous and capable. Besides, we can still find someone better than you." Chief?"
"What I said is true. You are also aware of my physical condition. Haha, I won't say more." His voice suddenly became louder and he shouted: "Geng Le."
"Here." The latter stood up in excitement, wanting to stand at attention and salute, but of course he came into close contact with the roof of the armored vehicle, and immediately grinned in pain.
Several people laughed, including Tong Linge, but the smile on the latter's face disappeared in a flash. He stared at Geng Le and said: "From now on, you will serve as the chief of general staff of the teaching corps, and your military rank will also be promoted. As a major general, well, after we fight this battle, I will report it to Commander Ouyang for record."
Everyone was startled because of the name before the commander in his sentence. You must know that at present, the teaching corps still belongs to the 29th Army. To put it bluntly, the appointment of personnel does not actually affect it at all. Ouyang Yun, what happened?
This small episode that happened before the Battle of Bagua Pass had limited knowledge, but the prediction made by young Major Geng Le came true after a while, which was unexpected by everyone present at the time.
Of course, this is a story for later.
In North China in June, the weather was already a little hot at noon, which undoubtedly increased energy consumption for soldiers marching long distances.
The Xuebing Army was okay, because it was the chasing side, had a natural psychological advantage, and could take turns to rest, so the officers and soldiers felt that they could bear it.
The Japanese army is different. Their mentality at this time can be described as disgraced. The most terrible thing is that, just as their commander, Xiangyue Qingji, expected, the Chinese air force was dispatched. Among them, the first wave consisted of more than thirty bombers and more than ten fighter jets.
There are planes bombing in the sky, so you must maintain a loose formation and be ready to "get down" at any time; there are enemies chasing you behind you, and if you accidentally fall behind, you can wait to be surrounded and annihilated. So, in China University On the ground, for the first time since 1931, such a scene appeared. On the ground, the Japanese as invaders were running wildly over the mountains and plains. In the air, Chinese fighter planes were in hot pursuit, and behind the dense Japanese skirmishers , it was the Chinese tanks and soldiers who were leisurely chasing. Tons of bombs were smashed down, thousands of bullets were shot down, one after another, the little devils wailed and fell into a pool of blood, and the morale of the Japanese army dropped. To the point where it is beyond reach,
"Why did it happen like this?" Recalling the high morale during last night's march, more than one low-level Japanese officer raised such a question. In the Northeast, with a force of more than a thousand troops, they dared to chase more than 300,000 ducks. When did the Imperial Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire, which had its Northeastern Army playing tricks all over China, turned into a lost dog?
No one can answer them, because Kozuki Kiyoshi can't come up with an effective method. After losing air supremacy, abandoning all the heavy artillery, and even having few tanks left, even if his subordinates are willing to fight hard, the problem is, how to get it? What's the fight, with a bayonet? What's the difference between that and death? Ever since he learned about Wangjiawei's own war, Xiangyue Qingji has become aware of his future, but as a soldier who considers himself to be very professional , he would not use the lives of nearly 100,000 officers and soldiers of the First Army to die for his position.
From this aspect, it seems that he is still a responsible commander.
