"No!" Shaofan said categorically: "The speed is too slow." This battle is about speed, and the telegram ordered Zheng Hu and Duan Louyun to enter the position within four hours, that is, at noon three today. The telegram ordered that the Xiping position must end the battle as soon as possible, and that the Murakami division must be completely and completely wiped out. The telegram ordered Bailong to hold the Sishan Pass until I gave the order to retreat. The guard battalion was ordered to immediately enter the Bauhinia Pass to secretly build fortifications, except for the pistol company. ”

After blocking the sky and putting it aside, he said: "Shaofan! Is the continuous fighting of troops will not affect the combat effectiveness. ”

Shen Shaofan smiled and looked at Tianfang holding the teacup and said, "What?" Don't have confidence in our team? Why did our party-state's encirclement and suppression of ** fail several times back then? That is, Mao Zedong and Zedong can use sports warfare and use it beautifully, and the key to sports warfare is to test the continuous combat strength of our team. He put down the teacup and said, "Let's go and see the 'floating' of the devil Tegaoke." After finishing speaking, he pulled Tianfang and walked towards the interrogation room of the regiment headquarters.

On the Xiping position, Sun Zhiyu was at the front and looked at the troops, and Su Qing, who was the first division of the village, smiled and said to Leng Bing: "It seems that we don't need two hours to wipe out the village division." ”

Leng Bing smiled: "Not bad! The devil was chasing us violently, but he was surrounded by us, and now he is still being beaten by us. ”

"This is the thirty-year Hedong and the thirty-year Hexi." Sun Zhiyu was relaxed at this time, looked at the situation in front with a telescope and said: "Leng Bing immediately withdrew from the battlefield with all the teaching columns to rest, and when he set off to Zijing Pass, he must be fast on the way." ”

"Yes!" Leng Bing saluted and turned back.

At this time, Su Li; HUANG Junjie; Nie Yufeng; ZHAO Meng; Jiang Nan came to Zhiyu's side to report the situation, especially Zhao Meng and Jiang Nan's troops had just come from the victory in Chongyang and took the headquarters of Murakami Sanqiu in one go.

The Warring States Youth Regiment of Xiping used flexible tactics, from the initial defense to the later encirclement and counteroffensive, and the troops were never discovered by the Japanese troops in the West Gorge, and their whereabouts were the main reason for the victory of this battle. The fall of Murakami's regiment was Kawagishi Bunzaburo; Yoshito Takagi; Kitaoka Yoshino's demise sounded the death knell.

Although the Battle of Xiping is over, but the war has not yet begun, is Bauhinia Pass the beginning of a new chapter of the National Youth League, or the first step for Kawagishi Bunzaburo to step into the grave?

On the mountain road, a rapidly marching team was galloping towards the west, and the white horses galloped to Duan Louyun and Zheng Hu's side on one side, and a messenger turned over and dismounted and saluted them: "Call from the regiment headquarters!" ”

When Zheng Hu heard this, he said, "Read! ”

"Order 4 battalions; The reconnaissance battalion marched quickly, and it was necessary to arrive at Bauhinia Pass at 15:00 noon and enter the position. Shen Shaofan. ”

Duan Louyun looked at the tiger and said, "Seeing that the war is very urgent!" ”

Zheng Hu lowered his head and said, "Yes! Shaofan used him as bait to set up the regiment headquarters in Wangjiahe, which is a risky move! If Bauhinia can't hold it, the regimental headquarters will be wiped out. Duan Louyun said: "Order the troops to speed up the march." Throw away all the things that are useless. ”

"Yes!" The correspondent saluted, then turned over and ran towards the back of the line.

As soon as the troops received the order, they immediately increased the pace of the march and were subdued; The kettle and even the dry food were all discarded, and there was a company of troops along the road to bury the discarded items so that they would not be discovered by the devils.

In the Battle of Xiping, they captured a large amount of baggage from the Murakami Division, all the troops had military trucks to transport them in the direction of Bauhinia Pass, and at the same time, Zhang Liang's artillery company also received an order to go to Bauhinia Pass.

The news of the annihilation of the entire Murakami division reached the ears of Kawagishi Bunzaburo, and he always felt that something was wrong, but I don't know which link it was, when he hesitated, Takagi Yoshito once again brought the information of 'floating', and when Kawagishi Bunzaburo read this information, he calmed down a little. He learned from intelligence that Shen Shaofan's main force was set up in ambush on Highway No. 1, and that the National Youth League blocking them at Sishan Pass was just to paralyze them so that they would feel that the main force of the National Youth League was in Wangjiahe, and was about to turn back to Xiping and enter Shaanxi.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo looked at the map on the wall with a cigarette and lowered his head slightly, he knew that Xiping was the last village and town in Henan to enter Shaanxi, and Shen Shaofan deliberately exposed the regiment headquarters to Wangjiahe, and his purpose was also to make them think that the large army of the National Youth League was preparing to turn back to Xiping, so that to intercept the National Youth League, the only way to enter Xiping in advance was through Highway 1. Kawagishi Bunzaburo is very fortunate to have such an excellent intelligence officer as 'Drift' within the National Youth League, and now they can target the command center of the regimental headquarters of the National Youth League in one fell swoop.

At this time, Kitaoka Yoshino walked into the office and said, "Kawagishi-kun, my troops have all been assembled. You can go at any time. ”

"Excellent! Set off immediately, and you must enter Wangjiahe as soon as possible, which caught Shen Shaofan off guard. Kawagishi Bunzaburo said.

Kitaoka Yoshino bowed his head and said, "Hi! ”

After Kitaoka Yoshino left, Kawagishi Bunzaburo ordered the Takagi division to continue the attack on Terayama Pass, but in moderation so that the National Youth League thought that the Japanese army was bent on breaking through Terayama Pass and entering Xiping. In this way, it helped the White Dragon's special agent battalion and gave them a chance to breathe, although the Takagi Division increased the intensity of the artillery attack, but it was very obvious that the devil's charge was reduced.

At dusk, the sunset shadowed the sky on the side of the Tonghong Temple Mountain Pass, and there was silence on the position, except for the sporadic shelling of the devils, which made Takagi Yoshito a little curious, and looked through the binoculars, a Chinese blue sky and white sun flag was still fluttering on the position, but there was no sign of resistance on the position.

Yoshito Takagi smiled and said, "The National Youth League withdrew and thought we would be fooled." ”

Ling Qiu Yishilang also laughed on the side: "Your Excellency, what should we do next?" ”

Takagi Yoshito: "Order the troops to search and advance to Xiping, and slow down. ”

Lingqiu Yishilang asked a little puzzled on the side, "Aren't we going to Wangjiahe?" ”

Yoshito Takagi still smiled slightly and said: "There is one of the ten famous flowers in Wangjiahe, Kitaoka Yoshino, what are we going to do to join in the fun?" Ordered the troops to be stationed at Sishan Pass to rest at 12 o'clock. ”

At this point, we must visit Murakami; Yoshino; Takagi; Kawagishi, the four Japanese divisions that seem to be in the same boat through thick and thin, Kitaoka Yoshino and Murakami Miaki are the proud protégés of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese South China Army, Shunroku Hatata, although he has suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield in Shanghai, but he is still very appreciated by Shunroku Hatata, while Bunzaburo Kawagishi and Yoshito Takagi are the high feet of General Terauchi, the commander of the Japanese North China Group Army. These two generals often fight for the position of commander in China, and neither of them will let anyone, the two generals are competing against each other, and their subordinates will naturally not be so good, everyone is hindered by the common goal, and on the surface they respect each other, but at a critical moment, both sides will play smart, In addition, the strength of the four divisions is not far apart, but the honor of the four commanders is all false, Takagi and Kawagishi have made remarkable achievements on the way from Beiping to Henan, but they have no reputation, on the contrary, Murakami Miaki and Kitaoka Yoshino have been repeatedly defeated in Shanghai to Nanjing, but they have still been hyped up by Japan and become one of the top ten flowers of famous generals after Abu Lady, the flower of famous generals, which is also the reason why Takagi and Kawagishi have been looking for opportunities to get rid of Murakami and Kitaoka. The Murakami Division is a good proof that although the Murakami Division has been heavily surrounded by the National Youth League, as long as Takagi Yoshito is willing to fight to the death, it is not impossible to break through the Terayama Pass, but the Takagi Division has not launched a greater attack on the White Dragon's special service battalion in order to retain its strength, so that the support has been delayed and the entire Murakami Division has been wiped out.

Kitaoka Yoshino is naturally a person who understands this truth, but he is eager to wash away the shame brought to him by the National Youth League at this time, so he can't wait to get rid of Shen Shaofan and his National Youth League, and in this way, he and his division embarked on a road of no return.

Bailong's spy battalion withdrew from Sishan Pass and did not go in the direction of Bauhinia Pass, but went towards Xiping, and paid special attention to secrecy when marching, but Bailong's spy battalion did not set up an ambush in the dangerous Xishan Chu Road, but chose a place that no one had thought of to set up an ambush, that is, Xiping Village. This is what Kawagishi Bunzaburo never imagined, that one military commander would ambush his troops twice in the same place, and the common people in the village that had just been baptized by the smoke of gunpowder in Xiping had not yet had time to rectify their mood when the artillery was under fire, and they saw many soldiers at the entrance of the village to deploy their troops, and at the same time there were also engineer companies and rifle companies that arrived in Xiping.

Li Hairong and Luo Sanlie came to Bai Long and said, "The commander of the white battalion, the engineer company and the rifle company, report to you. ”

Bai Long looked at the two of them and said, "Oops! I have made you hard, half of the road has been walked, and you have to turn back. ”

Li Hairong smiled: "It's not hard! What is it to run away if there is a battle? ”

"Not bad!" Luo Sanlie said with a smile: "When we turned back, you didn't see the greedy look of the logistics column. ”

The white dragon smiled and unfolded the map and said, "Come!" Let's see how to hold Xiping so that the main force of our regiment can better destroy the enemy at Bauhinia Pass. ”

Luo Sanlie waved his hand and said, "Hey! Camp Chief Bai is a talented student in Huangpu and has drunk foreign ink abroad, so naturally you come to pay attention to it, and we just listen to you. ”

The white dragon smiled: "Okay! In that case, I'll set it up. In Xiping Village, our regiment has already fought with the Devil Village Division here, and we have also wiped out the Murashang's Division here, so it is unexpectedly for us to ambush the Devil again in Xiping Village, but if we still use positions against positions in Xiping Village, then we will definitely suffer. ”

Li Hairong said: "Actually, when I came to Xiping, I have already inquired with the local people, and there are no dangerous places near Xiping Town that we can block. ”

Bai Long lowered his head and said: "It seems that only by taking the town as a pass and arranging the troops in Xiping Town, as long as we can prevent the devils from passing through Xiping, we will be equivalent to completing the task." ”

Luo Sanlie lowered his head and said: "Although the people will lose in this way, it is better than being killed by the devil." I immediately consulted with the mayor of the town. ”

"Good!" Bai Long answered, pulling Li Hairong to check the situation around the town.

Then Xiping Town. This town is not an ordinary town, he is the western pass of Henan into Shaanxi, and it is also the main passage into a county in Shaanxi - Shangnan, so this town is actually a very important town, and in this way, Xiping Town is often remembered by local bandits, and over time, Xiping Town is martial arts and fashion, and everyone can play with knives; Each will play with guns, and when it is peaceful, it will form a group of three or five to gang up and go to the horse (horse gang), and when the world is in turmoil, it will also be three meals a day, and it will be the people; If you go out, you will be a bandit. The survival ability of the townspeople in Xiping Town is very strong, as early as two years ago, the devils carried out several sweeps on Xiping, but the more they swept the local people, the more they hated the devils.
