On the night of 9 March, Zhao Dengyu's troops, who had received arms support from Tiedan, personally led 500 daredevils, holding knives in one hand, box guns in the other, and a grenade in their waists. Bring a couple of dozen more machine gunners.

The daredevils divided into two routes, all the way from the side of Xifengkou to the Japanese position, took advantage of the night to touch the sentry, and then secretly slashed at the sleeping Japanese army with a broadsword.

The 200 daredevils annihilated more than 100 Japanese troops at Xifengkou with extremely weak casualties. Only a few Japanese soldiers were lucky enough to escape from the Xifengkou position to the bottom of the mountain.

However, the men did not run back to the camp of the Combined Advance Brigade located at the bottom of the mountain, because before they reached the camp, they heard the chaotic sound of gunfire, explosions, and shouts of killing.

Then I saw that the Japanese camp was still on fire, and the whole camp was full of the cries and screams of Japanese soldiers.

Seeing this situation, these Japanese soldiers didn't know where they were, the camp of the advance brigade was attacked by the ** squadron, and at this time there was a great danger, and several people immediately turned around and caught up with the group of deserters without hesitation and fled into the distance.

And this night, more than a dozen important passes, such as Xifengkou, Luojiayu, and Gubeikou, received arms assistance from the so-called special service of the logistics department.

But as soon as everyone heard that the chief of the special services who sent the arms was Li Tie, they understood everything. During the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai last year, Li Tie donated tens of thousands of guns.

It can be said that the reason why the entire Shanghai War of Resistance was able to achieve such good results was that Li Tie made great efforts. Almost all the logistics support works were all made by Li Tie's company.

Now that the Great Wall is resisting, Li Tie has traveled thousands of miles to send arms to the door, there was no ammunition before, and there was still a reason for losing.

Now that the ammunition is finally sufficient, if it doesn't fight well this time, it is better to find a place to secretly crash to death, but don't embarrass the ** people again.

Therefore, after the various troops of the Great Wall defense line received Li Tie's military assistance, their morale soared, and Li Tie was also very good at being a man, and all the credit was put on the head of Commander Jiang.

None of the miscellaneous generals present at that time did not understand that this was Li Tie's desire to quench Commander Jiang's jealous heart. After all, Li Tie's suspicion of inviting people to buy people's hearts is too great.

Therefore, the generals of these troops were also happy to do Li Tie a small favor, and they called the Central Army one after another, thanking them for their weapon support, which made Commander-in-Chief He Yingqin, who was deploying the second line of defense in the Pingjin area, very confused.

What kind of play is this? When are we going to give you weapons? I wish you were fighting with the Japanese army.

However, the telegrams of thanks from the various armies were still known to the reporters accompanying the Central Army, so they praised Commander Chiang for his sincerity in resisting Japan and for treating the Central Army and the miscellaneous armies equally.

At the same time, the first contest between China and Japan in the area of Xifengkou on the Great Wall ended with the squadron repelling the Japanese attack and killing and wounding a large number of enemies, which was called the great victory of Xifengkou.

And Commander Jiang, who was far away in Nanchang to suppress bandits, looked at the telegram of Xifengkou's victory, laughed, and cried, so he could only scold Li Tie, a little slippery head, and do his best to block himself.

In the next few days, although the Japanese offensive was still very fierce, the morale of the squadron that had been replenished with ammunition was greatly boosted, and the defense was more stable.

Moreover, whether it is the Northwest Army or the Northeast Army, the troops on the Great Wall defense line are all brave and brave warriors.

In just one week, the two sides fought bloody battles on the Great Wall defense line for several days. A position was repeatedly fought for several times, and many squadrons often fought to the last person on the position and never gave in, and the Japanese army was also aroused to the beastly nature, and one by one became extremely fierce.

The Japanese army relied on artillery and aircraft with sufficient heavy firepower, and the squadron had a large number of people, familiar ground, and sufficient bullets. Often, after the Japanese bombardment was completed on the front foot, the Japanese army had just entered the positions where the Chinese defenders had suffered heavy casualties.

Before they could gain a firm foothold, the squadron relied on a large number of people, guns, and grenades, and wiped out the Japanese troops on the position with a fierce attack regardless of casualties.

Then the Japanese army under the mountain bombarded with artillery, and then sent troops to occupy it, and then the squadron took it again, and so on, and so on, an important position often changed hands several times a day.

In the previous life, the Chinese side sacrificed more than 40,000 people in the Great Wall War of Resistance, and the Japanese side suffered less than 3,000 casualties, and finally the Japanese side won.

But this time it was different, although the Chinese still suffered heavy casualties, but the Japanese casualties were much greater. Li Tie's arrival changed the course of the war too much.

Because the Chinese army did not have the shortcomings of insufficient ammunition, although it did not have heavy firepower, it still caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army by relying on the spirit of not being afraid of death.

In just half a month after the start of the war, the Chinese side suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, while the Japanese suffered more than 5,000 casualties.

This dealt a great blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army. The commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army couldn't believe his eyes when he looked at the battle damage report in front of him. Shouldn't the ** person be able to fight like this?

The Northwest Army has always been known as the most hard-working and combat-ready unit in China, and it is understandable that they caused losses to the Japanese army, after all, they were the ones who attacked the advance army camp at night.

I heard that the advance army was defeated with a broadsword alone, and the captain of the Japanese army also asked a regiment commander of the Northwest Army called Wang Changhai to cut off his head.

But how could the Northeast Army, which is like a sick cat, be so alive and well? Wang Yizhe of the 117th Division actually killed one of his own cavalry brigades.

A few days ago, when he was in Rehe, this Wang Yizhe let his Sixth Division chase after him and almost lost his pants.

There must be an article in this that tells all the troops to rest in place and wait for the next order. At the same time, he telegraphed Major General Dohihara.

"Check, you have to find out what the hell is going on? Why did China's motley army suddenly rise in combat power? ”

It turned out that on the night of the Great Wall's War of Resistance, more than a dozen troops stationed at various important passes of the Great Wall were supplied in large quantities.

These supplies consisted of machine guns, bullets, oceans and grenades. And the source of these supplies has also been found, it is Japan's great enemy, Li Tie of Huaxing Foreign Company, who is behind the scenes.

Not only that, Tu Feiyuan also revealed to Wu Teng Xinyi that even the bandit coalition forces in various parts of the Northeast are secretly supported by Li Tie behind his back.

Because he has absolute evidence, but it proves that the troops of Ma Zhanshan, the largest resistance organization in Heilongjiang, were able to develop and grow only with Li Tie's military assistance.

The most infuriating thing is that according to their intelligence department, Li Tie's personal armed forces, the Huaxing Escort Corps, also participated in the direct battle with the Kwantung Army, and caused great losses to the Kwantung Army.

However, Tu Feiyuan also pointed out that Li Tie is now a multinational country, and he has strong economic strength, and he has very good personal relations with the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, and the United States.

Therefore, Tu Feiyuan suggested, don't provoke Li Tie easily, just open your eyes and close your eyes first, with the powerful force of the Japanese army, it is not something that the current squadron can resist at all.

Li Tie can only secretly send arms, and it will not affect the overall situation, at most, it will only kill and inflict more imperial soldiers and slow down our pace of occupation of China.

However, Wu Teng Xinyi, who knew the news, resolutely disagreed with Tu Feiyuan's approach: "Why? Can a businessman influence the war between China and Japan?

Still open one eye and close one eye, is it difficult that the lives of the soldiers of our empire are worthless?

Obviously, it was possible to capture the Great Wall fortress with only a few hundred dead and wounded, but because of Li Tie's military assistance, thousands of dead and wounded were not captured now.

Why don't I listen to the advice of the soil and fertilizer? Not only do I not pretend to be confused, but I also want to take revenge on Li Tie with great fanfare, I want to declare war on him, I want to discredit him, and I want to break him to pieces. ”

Wu Teng Xinyi was so angry that he tore the secret report in his hand to shreds: "Baga Yalu, Li Tie, it's dead." ”

Immediately after that, Wu Teng Xinyi ignored the persuasion of the General Staff to calm the matter, but instead held a press conference at home and abroad to issue a statement to the outside world:

"As a foreign friend, Li Tie should not participate in the Sino-Japanese war, let alone provide military assistance to the squadron.

As a peace-loving Japanese Kwantung Army, this is regretted. As a warning to Li Tie's actions, the Kwantung Army will confiscate all Huaxing Company properties in its jurisdiction. ”

At the same time, Wu Teng Xinyi threatened: "If Li Tie supports the squadron again, it will be regarded as officially participating in the fight against the enemy of the Great Japanese Empire." As the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Wu Teng Xinyi was going to personally sentence Li Tie to death. ”

As soon as the news came out, newspapers from all over the world said that Wu Teng Xinyi was crazy, you said that you are a dignified army general of the Japanese Empire, what is your name with a businessman who does business?

Even the Japanese base camp expressed disdain for Wu Teng Xinyi's statement, but they were afraid that the Wu Teng Xinyi family was strong and too high.

Therefore, although people in Japan oppose it in their hearts, on the surface, they support Wu Teng's statement even more.

More do-gooders suggested that a boxing match might be organized by a multinational group and let the two of them try it alone. Li Tie lost, and from then on he no longer funded China's anti-Japanese struggle, Li Tie won, then he will fund what he wants in the future, whatever he wants.

They believed that Li Tie was fully capable of bullying Wu Teng Xinyi, an old man in his sixties. Moreover, Wu Teng Xinyi is still drunk, so they don't believe that Li Tie will not be able to beat a bad old man who has been hollowed out by wine.

And when Li Tie walked out of the gate of Shanghai Huaxing Foreign Company, and learned about Wu Teng Xinyi's threat from the mouth of the Chinese and foreign reporters who blocked him outside the door, he smiled dumbly:

"First of all, I have a multi-national identity, but I am still a Chinese. Therefore, I have no slack in supporting the War of Resistance. Second, as for Wu Teng Xinyi's statement that he would sentence me to death, I think it makes no sense.

Just like now, I can also say that I can sentence Wu Teng Xinyi to death on behalf of the Chinese people, but is it meaningful? Aren't we all alive and well? ”

As soon as Li Tie's words fell, a reporter with good things immediately said: "Mr. Li Tie, we all know that General Wuteng Xinyi may have said such threatening words out of a moment of anger.

After all, because of your support, the Japanese army has not broken through the defense line of the Great Wall until now.

But everyone knows that you are the actual speaker of the Shanghai Axe Gang, and the Axe Gang is known throughout the country for being the best at assassination.

Assuming that you really respond to the battle, will you send the Axe Gang to assassinate General Wuteng Xinyi? At the same time, when are you going to assassinate him?

We heard that the leader of the Axe Gang, Wang Yaqiao, usually set a death date for the person who was killed, so as to destroy the opponent mentally and **, can you give a death date for Wu Teng Xinyi? ”

Li Tie looked at the reporters in front of him, it was obvious that they were the reporters who had declared Shanghai's full support for the Anti-Japanese War, and they were all masters who feared that the world would not be chaotic.

However, Li Tie thought about it carefully, and his heart moved: "Okay, since you have to give him a death date, then I will casually say a date, four months later, July 27 will be Wu Teng Xinyi's death date." ”

Hearing Li Tie's response, the reporters present were jubilant, and some reporters came up to ask: "What is a special day on July 27, and why did you choose this day as the death date of Wu Teng Xinyi?" ”

Li Tie replied with a smile: "My first child will be born at the beginning of next month, in order to ask for good luck, the child should not make a big deal within a hundred days, and once the child has passed in a hundred days, it is probably late July. ”

The reporters present laughed and said vigorously that Li Tie didn't look down on General Wu Teng Xinyi at all, and it was all about his mood to set a death date for the enemy. So don't offend Li Tie in the future, because his mood determines your death.

Chinese and foreign reporters, who finally got a satisfactory answer, began to report on Li Tie's death threats to Wu Teng Xinyi at length, because both sides of this air battle were well-known people.

At the same time, the duel between the merchant and the general was very gimmicky, so newspapers from various countries also rushed to reprint reports about the battle between the two.

All of a sudden, large newspapers all over China and all over the world continued to hype up, and as a result, the limelight of China and Japan, which were in a heated exchange, was stolen by Li Tie and Wu Teng Xinyi.

When the news reached Nanchang, Commander Jiang, who was so angry that he was directing the suppression of bandits, was furious, and scolded that Li Tie would add to the chaos, if this angered the Japanese army, if Wu Teng Xinyi went crazy and commanded the Japanese army to attack, their hundreds of thousands of garrisons in the Pingjin area would not have to be wiped out.

And the death date set by Li Tie for Wu Teng Xinyi really passed back to Wu Teng Xinyi's ears after several twists and turns, and Commander Jiang also guessed that it was Wu Teng Xinyi who was really angry and half dead.

Despite the dissuasion to maintain the status quo in Japan, he really increased his troops again and reorganized his army and horses, preparing to attack the passes of the Great Wall again.

At the beginning of April, after repairing for more than half a month, the well-fed Japanese army, with the help of aircraft artillery, once again stormed the defenders of the Great Wall. The focus of this attack was on the Gubeikou and Lengkou lines, because the terrain there was relatively flat, which was more suitable for the deployment of large Japanese forces.
