"Brother Ouyang, why do you have to be obsessed with eliminating the 40th Brigade? Judging from the ancient training of the art of war of the Ten Rules, our army does not have an absolute superiority in numbers."

"Junza, there are too many accidental factors in the night battle, do you think it will be put on tomorrow?"

……

When Ouyang Yun decided to carry out retaliatory operations against the 40th Brigade, many people put forward different opinions. This includes the old general Tong Linge of the teaching corps, as well as Deng Zige and others. Almost everyone was puzzled by his bold decision, though only a handful expressed it.

For Deng Zige and others, Ouyang Yun dismissed it with a sentence of "execute the order". But for the old general Tong Linge, he had to explain the reason: "Old general, I just want the little devil to know the truth, and everything you do will have to pay the price." Your national strength is stronger than my country, and if you want to invade our country, you can, let the horse come. However, there are some things you can't do, and if you do, we Chinese must get it back! Not only do you have to recover the cost, but you also have to pay interest. Those who offend my Chinese Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away! I want to convey this message to the Japanese people. The little devil I want to fight will think when he wants to use gas bombs again - will this cause retaliation from the Chinese? Will they fight back at us with the same means ?! ”

The old general immediately understood and asked, "Or is it because of the mustard gas?" Ouyang, the ferocity of the Japanese is consistent, it's just that it is necessary for us to be the same as them? ”

Ouyang Yun sneered: "What's the matter? The so-called great power bearing, the so-called magnificent China, these are not just words and benevolence that can be recognized by people, they have to be harder than them with their fists and ruthless in their means. Isn't the little devil always afraid of night battles? Grandma's, Lao Tzu fought with him at night and choked him to death! ”

Tong Linge smiled bitterly, however, his eyes were appreciative, from this young man's body, he clearly saw the shadows of several ancients, including Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi and so on. "Wei Qing style, go to the sick style......" Thinking of the names of these weapons and equipment, the old general understood Ouyang Yun better. He didn't insist on objecting anymore, patted Ouyang Yun on the shoulder and said, "Then let it go, if you want us to teach the brothers of the corps what to do, just say it." ”

"Good! General, then I'll get started! ”

The Japanese army violated international conventions and fought with illegal weapons, and the Cadet Army did not have such weapons. It was the great victory in Tianjin, and a large number of mustard gas shells were found from the arsenal of the former 108th Division that was encircled and annihilated. Because this kind of weapon needs to be kept by a special person, Zhang Zizhong, who does not have this ability, transferred all these shells to Ouyang Yun. And this time, after the chariot regiment of the Xuebing Army returned to Renqiu to refuel, Ouyang Yun personally ordered them to bring some of it over.

Ouyang Yun really wants to repay the other with his own way, but considering that his vision is not good at night, besides, this is fighting on the land of his own country after all, and if he is not careful, he may be left stinking for 10,000 years; In addition, considering that the Japanese army only had a half-remnant brigade, it seemed a bit impossible to use that kind of weapon with too large a killing range, so in the end, it was decided to see the real thing.

First, elite troops attacked, felt the sentinels, and cleared the 40th Division's alert force, then used the data obtained from close reconnaissance to carry out artillery bombardments, and then small-scale raids. At the end of the day, there was a large-scale assault.

At this time, the most inspiring place for the Second Great Wall War of Resistance was not North China, but East China, especially from Shanghai to Jiangsu, where the Chinese and Japanese armies were quite entangled. The two sides continued to increase their troops, and because of the weak air force, the Japanese army completely grasped the air supremacy, so the ground forces of the central system in Nanjing fought quite passively, so far, three integrated divisions have been disabled, and five divisions have been incomplete. The Japanese army even approached Nanjing for a time.

On the Jiaodong Peninsula, the Japanese army completely occupies the advantage, and has now taken most of Shandong, and the forward troops of the Second Army of the North China Front have made contact with the Scholar Army led by Li Tieshu.

In North China, so far, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. The Japanese army did break through the Great Wall line, but the Cadet Army and the 57th Army had also invaded the territory controlled by the Japanese army, and they had a partial one-sided advantage.

North China was fought like this, which greatly surprised the Japanese base camp, and at the same time, it also put serious pressure on Terauchi Shouichi and Kazuki Kiyoji and others, which may be the main reason why Kazuki Kiyoji was forced to carry out this night raid.

Kazuki Kiyoji replied to Yamashita Fumi's telegram asking for help, but did not mention the surprise attack, only telling him that there would definitely be troops rushing to help, and at the same time, he told him to lead his troops to bite the Shina army in order to create fighters for the main force. There was not a single word in the telegram of Kiyoji Kazuki mentioning mustard gas, which was abnormal, and the clever and old Yamashita had already realized by then that the 40th Brigade might be used as an outcast. With such an awareness, the defense of Yamashita was not just to save his life, but to really begin to implement Kazuki's instructions: to bite the Shina army to the death.

The battle between the two sides was quite stalemate from the beginning, Yamashita personally sat on the front line, commanded the army to meet and counterattack, and fought repeatedly in a place called "mud hole" by the locals (named "mud hole", which is actually a small high ground, the highest position in this area), which gave one of the infantry brigades as the vanguard quite lethal.

This time, in addition to monitoring the remnants of the 9th Division and the 108th Division, Ouyang Yun sent all the troops in Changping, in addition to a brigade general and a regiment (subordinate to the Jibu Brigade), as well as a battalion of the guard regiment that remained in Changping. The ratio of the strength of nearly three brigades to the remnants of the 40 brigades has reached nearly three to one.

After the first charge, the battalion of the Infantry Brigade was crippled, not only disabled, but even more anxious that it was suppressed by the Japanese army in the charge area and could not be withdrawn.

Using the infrared telescope he brought with him to pass through, Ouyang Yun was very angry. The reason for his anger was that in the daytime battle, the machine infantry brigade fought well, why couldn't it be at night? Is it because of the lack of cover for combat vehicles? He shouted at He Zheng, who was not far away: "He Zhengdu? What about tanks? Send the tank to Lao Tzu! There are advanced weapons that don't need to be filled in by people, you kid seems stupid or hypocritical?! ”

He Zhengchuan was very wronged. Because Ouyang Yun attaches great importance to the tank troops, in the combat regulations of the tank troops, unless they are in battle, then post-war maintenance is a must. In this night attack, when deciding the order of attack, he had already proposed to the military seat that the tank would not participate in the battle because it needed to be maintained.

Fortunately, Pan Meiren was careful, and she immediately explained the matter in a whisper in Ouyang Yun's ear.

The latter's face immediately eased and said, "Lao Tzu is confused!" However, without tanks, we can't beat the little devils? You must know that in the past, it was millet and rifles that used to fight devils. ”

These words are even more confused, and even Pan Meiren doesn't know what to say.

Xu is realized that he had made a mistake, and Ouyang Yun shouted to Liu Kui: "Liu Kui, bring the team over, let's show the brothers of the Jibu Brigade, what is a real strong army!" ”

As soon as he heard that Ouyang Yun meant to go into battle in person, Pan Meiren's face changed color first, and the others couldn't stand still. The little chief looked indignant at this time, and he didn't dare to make a mistake as a subordinate, so Tong Linge, an old qualification, had to stand up and say two fair words: "Commander Ouyang, what's the matter with you?" You are the commander-in-chief, and your battlefield is in the command headquarters, why do you always speak lightly on the front line? The little devil is desperate. Well, in my opinion, they must have reinforcements. ”

He Zhengchuan nodded: "I feel this way too." Then he saw Ouyang Yun's face change, and hurriedly said loudly: "I will personally go to suppress the formation, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't take it!" After saying that, he immediately greeted the commander of the regiment to which the battalion belonged, and led the regiment towards the front line.

The raid of the Cadet Corps was divided into three directions, the left and right flanks and the center. However, because of the existence of the "mud puddle", when the small high ground could not be attacked, the two flanks were completely exposed to the Japanese heavy machine gun fire, so a regiment of the teaching corps, which was responsible for the attack on the left flank, and a regiment of the 1st Division and 3rd Brigade that was responsible for the attack on the right flank, were all suppressed to death, and they were unable to form a formation and carry out the charge at all.

After He Zhengchuan led the team to leave the command location, Ouyang Yun's mood calmed down a lot. He picked up the binoculars and looked around the "mud puddle" as much as possible, not knowing what the road was about, and his heart gradually hung up. As Tong Linge said, once the Japanese army has reinforcements coming, then it may really become an impossible task to annihilate the 40th Brigade. This is not the worst result, what he is worried about is that if the devil seizes the opportunity of attacking the 40th Brigade with his own troops, makes a major troop transfer, abandons the attack point of Wangjiawei and turns here, then ......

The so-called fear of what is coming, just when He Zhengzhen went to the front line and began to organize people to launch a more fierce offensive, opposite Huangzhuang, behind the other side of Lijiatunzi, suddenly gunshots and explosions sounded.

Soon, as several flares rose into the air, Ouyang Yun's hand shook, and the telescope almost fell.

"Throne, enemy situation!" Not far away, a scout belonging to the guard regiment stumbled over, and those from afar shouted: "Report! A large force of the enemy was spotted in the direction of Jiutanzi, and a fierce engagement was taking place. ”

All of them grew their mouths almost at the same time, and many of them even made an "ah" sound. Tong Linge touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "I really said it." ”

Ouyang Yun touched the sweat on his forehead and said in a low voice, "It's okay!" ”

Deng Zige and the others immediately understood what he meant, and they all rejoiced: "Yes, it's okay." ”

This was discovered early, if it was sneakily touched by the little devils, it would not be the annihilation of the 40th Brigade, but it was very likely to be annihilated by the other party.

Impulsiveness is the devil! Even if it's an impulse with a valid reason! The consequences are also severe!

Ouyang Yun thought.
