Chapter 2: The Arduous War of Resistance (15)
Pan Yugui and Qin Dechun are good friends. Those who are familiar with the top brass of the 29th Army will not be surprised by this, Qin Dechun was once regarded as a pro-Japanese element, such as the "Qin-Tu Agreement", and many people believe that this is a sin created by his traitorous pursuit of glory. Historically, the reason why the 29th Army suffered heavy losses from the Japanese army after the Lugou Bridge Incident is also related to Pan Yugui's close personal relationship with the senior management of the 29th Army. Even the military secrets such as the deployment of the 29th Army did not hide Pan Yugui's "own person", but it was precisely because of Pan's betrayal that the 29th Army suffered a crushing defeat in Nanyuan.
The appearance of Ouyang Feng not only changed the situation in North China, but also changed the fate of many people. And Qin Dechun's previous "bad deeds" now verify the old saying "Saiong loses his horse and knows whether he is blessed". It is precisely because of his "criminal record" in signing the "Qin-Tu Agreement", coupled with Pan Yugui's guarantee that he patted his chest, and at the same time, because of the sudden rise of the Xuebing Army and the 57th Army, the strength of the 29th Army is not as good as before. As a result, the Japanese regarded Qin Dechun as a "Sino-Japanese goodwill", and at the same time, the 29th Army under their control was no longer regarded as an important threat. And did not add the already strength to Pan Yugui from it, so the Japanese did not see him and the 29th Army under his control as a threat. The fact is that the inference that Terauchi Shouichi and Kazuki Seiji is almost established. Without the appearance of Ouyang Yun and the rise of the Scholar Army, it would be difficult to say Qin Dechun's performance today. It's not that Qin Dechun's character is not good, the key point is that in that era, a warlord like him valued his net worth above all else. In the case of many warlords in China at that time, if there was no team of the 29th Army, it can be said that Qin Dechun and Song Zheyuan would have been forgotten in the cracks of history long ago.
Kiyoshi Kazuki originally thought that as long as the First Army put on a tough posture, the 29th Army would be invincible. Who knew that this time, even if most of the troops of the First Army were directed at Huairou, the 29th Army would not move.
The performance of Qin Dechun and the 29th Army greatly surprised the Japanese army's expectations, and now a choice is placed in front of Terauchi Shouichi, for Huairou, whether to fight or not? He didn't dwell too much on this issue, because in the area of Chicheng that he personally commanded, Ji Xingwen began to use the pheasant feather troops in his hands to carry out attacks and harassment operations against the Japanese army after he sorted out the team.
The terrain in the Chiyun area is much more complicated than that near Beiping, which is conducive to mobile operations of small units and not conducive to large-scale operations of large groups. In the curriculum taught at the Renqiu Military Academy, great importance was attached to guerrilla tactics such as raids. And Ji Xingwen, as the original instructor and one of the first graduates, was influenced by Ouyang Yun and had considerable research on guerrilla tactics. However, those "temporary self-defense forces" from security groups, mountain bandits, and even private armed forces are not able to fight head-on, but they are more powerful than the other when they use the side doors, and under the temptation of 20 silver dollars and a devil's head, all kinds of strange tactics emerge one after another. Among them, the most famous is the hunting team composed of five hunters surnamed Jiang, these five people have been hunting in the mountains for a long time, and are good at making and burying all kinds of traps and traps, among which the old man Jiang Tiezhang has a hundred shots and a hundred marksmanship, as a result, they were stunned by relying on a medium-sized official, three old sleeves and a few slashing knives, and hunted and killed seventeen devils in just three days, which not only made the little devils change their color, but also broke out a great reputation among the many "self-defense forces".
The raid and harassment battle launched by Ji Xingwen and Huang Hewen consumed a lot of energy from Shouichi Terauchi. In this case, with Yanqing as the base, the operation of the Changhuai Line was completely handed over to the commander of the First Army, Kazuki Kiyoji. And whether to fight Huairou or not has become a problem that Kazuki Kiyoji is entangled in. For this reason, he did not hesitate to lead the staff officers of the headquarters to spend a lot of energy on the sand table to conduct drills, and finally found that if he really wanted to have a decisive battle with the main force of the student army, Huairou must take it, otherwise, it would be equivalent to being buried alive in Yan (Qing) Chang (Ping), and once this mine exploded at the right time, the harm to the Japanese army would be incomparable, and it was even very likely to change the battlefield advantage that the Japanese army had spent a lot of energy and painstaking efforts to establish. Kazuki Kiyoji clapped the board after the most reluctance: "Fight!" Huairou must be taken! However, he made up his mind to fight Huairou first, and bad news came from Changping, and the 18th Brigade was surrounded by the Xuebing Army. The main forces of the 108th Division and the 9th Division also suffered frequent setbacks in their attacks on Changping, which took almost 24 hours and did not make any progress.
Compared with the army of more than 100,000 in the First Army, the 18th Brigade did not account for much weight, however, Kazuki Kiyoji did not dare to sit back and watch it be completely annihilated. This is not only because this will give birth to a humiliating history (after the victory in Tianjin, Japan has always refused to admit that the 108th Division was annihilated, and even quickly reorganized a new 108th Division) - for the first time since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese army has been completely annihilated with units above the brigade and regimental level, which will inevitably have a very bad impact on the morale of the Japanese army. In addition, it will be a serious blow to the prestige of the military junta, which has just come to power. In order to piece together a new 108th Division, the Japanese military headquarters had already exhausted its reserves, and this time, it was impossible to make a new 18th Brigade under any circumstances. Another important reason is that because the 9th Division is a veteran of the Japanese army, and the 18th Brigade is also famous, it is much more difficult to fool this time.
This time, Kazuki Kiyoji did not hesitate in the slightest on the issue of whether to save or not, and immediately issued a series of orders, except for leaving a brigade to monitor the 29th Army of Huairou, all the other troops immediately set off and headed for Changping, wanting to counter-encircle and annihilate the Xuebing Army.
The speed of Xiangyue Qingji's deployment of troops this time was quite fast, and what he didn't know was that the battle report he had just gotten was actually not prepared, and the 18th Brigade at this time was no longer as simple as being surrounded, to be precise, the trapped beast was still fighting is the true portrayal.
As Ouyang Yun led the guard regiment to join the battlefield in person, when the flag of the 29th Army that made Liu Kui and others frightened was flying high - this was equivalent to telling the Japanese the existence of Ouyang Yun, the commander of the Cadet Army, not to mention whether Jing Shuxuanshi and other devil officers understood it, at least, the officers of the grassroots combat units under the Cadet Corps saw it. As a result, from time to time there were shouts from all over the battlefield: "Brothers! The little chief is here! Fight with the little devils! "Brothers, behold, it is the banner of the military throne! The military seat is here, and our student army will win this battle! "Victory!"
Although he is not very old, although this person has all kinds of strange problems, this does not prevent Ouyang Yun, a little commander, from quickly becoming the idol of the cadets. The amount of fanaticism brought about by the appearance of idols is unpredictable, and Jing Shuxuan, who directly suffered this huge force, even if he didn't realize that Ouyang Yun, the sworn enemy of the Japanese, was coming, he also had such an awareness: Li Jiatunzi must have an important person from the Xuebing Army, otherwise, the people of Zhina would not be so crazy!
The little devil himself is crazy enough, and they can call it crazy, which shows how fierce the performance of the soldiers on the battlefield is at this moment. By this time, not to mention that the 18th Brigade has completely fallen behind in terms of numbers, weapons and will to fight, even if the number of people is equal, it can no longer resist the frenzy of recruiting soldiers brought by the "little commander"!
The fall of the 18 brigade was only a matter of time.
