Chapter 5: The Pursuit of Victory (6)

"There are no immortals in war!"

"Today it's him, tomorrow I don't know who Lu Dao is, since we have chosen the profession of a soldier, then we must have this awareness."

"Don't you think that our country has already shed too much blood? But how much of this is the blood of soldiers? As a defender of national security, but let the people bleed because of their own incompetence, this kind of thing should be over. ”

The Battle of Bagua Pass, from the moment it was conceived, Ouyang Yun did not think that it would be an easy battle similar to the Tiemen Pass Breakthrough Battle or the Changping Night Battle. A Great Wall blocked the retreat of the main force of the Japanese First Army. What the top echelons of the Japanese military should consider now is not whether they can accomplish the strategic goals set before the war, but whether they can retreat with all their bodies and even take as many troops as possible.

For the Scholar Army and even the 29th Army and the 57th Army, if the Japanese army cannot be effectively eliminated, then no one knows when there will be such a Great Wall War of Resistance again.

Based on the fundamental contradiction between the two sides in terms of combat intentions, the battle of Bagua Pass is bound to be a hard-fought battle.

The Second Great Wall War of Resistance has only been around for about two weeks, and the impact on the areas under the jurisdiction of the various units has already been fully felt. Tianjin has not yet been affected by the war. However, Renqiu, especially Beiping and Zhangjiakou, was greatly affected. Take Ren Qiu alone, although Ouyang Yun made the decision that after the war, he would definitely help the merchants and residents to claim compensation from Japan. However, out of fear of war, a significant number of people chose to leave. Among them, there are some big businessmen and factory owners. This also makes it rare for the streets of Renqiu to appear in a bleak scene. Although Ouyang Yun was on the front line, as the highest military and political chief of the autonomous region, Jiang Shuren did not dare to make his own decisions on many major affairs of Renqiu, so he basically reported it once a day, and asked him for instructions and reported to him every day through telegrams. Among them, it has been mentioned more than once that if the war is not ended as soon as possible, then the previous efforts of the Renqiu government are likely to be in vain.

Among them, the huge attrition of the war is one reason. At the same time, it is also very important that the unstable situation in North China has caused turmoil in people's hearts, and now, not only many businessmen who were originally planning to come to invest have begun to stop and watch, but at the same time, merchants who have already invested before have also begun to shrink their operations and are ready to withdraw. This put enormous pressure on the autonomous regional government, which relied heavily on commercial tax revenues to maintain its rule. As the finance minister, Jiang Shuren has now taken out the surpluses of the previous military enterprises such as pharmaceutical factories to spend, and the weight of the burden on his shoulders can be seen.

It was with these factors in mind that Ouyang Yun asked all units to strengthen the offensive, so that both the Japanese army and the Bagua Pass defenders felt serious pressure, and the consequence was that large-scale local battles on both sides continued, resulting in a large number of casualties among soldiers on both sides. If it weren't for the fact that the 1st Division came to support and bombed the Japanese attacking troops at every turn, the 2nd Special Police Column and the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division would have been wiped out by now.

In the Bagua Pass defensive battle, the main position of the battle had long been transferred from Akiyama to Bagua Pass. After five days of high-intensity fighting, the Bagua Pass defenders have now been drastically reduced from more than 3,000 to less than 1,000 wounded. The positions they held had also changed from the original six lines of defense to two, and the corpses of the dead soldiers of both China and Japan were almost piled up in a three-square-kilometer area under the Great Wall of Bagua Pass.

The second column of the special police was originally four regiments, but now, starting from the regiment commander Guan Hongjiang, the third regiment has been defeated. The remaining three regiments, including the troops directly under the corps, together with the wounded soldiers, were less than 800 men.

"Ouyang Yun, Lao Tzu can't move. If the fight continues, Lao Tzu's team will be finished. ”

"Commander Ouyang, Uncle Ouyang, for the sake of the commander, let me lead the brothers to withdraw......"

The battle has reached this point, and Zhang Yantian's previous caution has disappeared. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer brothers around him, he said to Ouyang Yun in the walkie-talkie.

And Ouyang Yun answered the words at the beginning of this chapter.

Zhang Yantian was angry at the time: "The surname is Ou, you kid doesn't have a backache when you stand and talk." Who wouldn't say the truth, but now it's Lao Tzu's team who is in the gossip pass...... Damn, if you can't think of a way, don't blame Lao Tzu for rolling up his trouser legs and leaving directly! ”

Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly, smashed his lips that were already chapped and bloodied twice, he took some of the headsets away, and when Zhang Yantian finished complaining, he brought it back to his mouth and said, "General Zhang, hold on for another day." General Zhang Zizhong's troops were already approaching Nantianmen, and as long as Nantianmen was captured, the Japanese army would inevitably be defeated. ”

"You're a fool when you think of Lao Tzu - boom!"

"General Zhang, Zhang Yantian! You turtle son can't die! Zhang Yantianβ€”"

"Toot, toot, toot......"

"Pan Meiren!" Ouyang Yun threw down the microphone and shouted.

The white tassel walked over: "She fainted." Tell me what to do. ”

"Let the General Staff contact Tie Linfei, let the Air Force strengthen the bombing efforts, and the little devils must not be allowed to break through the Bagua Pass defense line. In addition, contact me with a single male, where did this turtle son go! This battle has been fought for five days, why haven't they shown up yet? If the gossip pass is lost, Lao Tzu is the only one who asks! ”

Bai Tassel and Liu Ziwen arrived here the morning before yesterday, and the reason why they were delayed on the road was because Xiao Yi and they left them halfway. The purpose of her and Liu Ziwen's trip was originally to shoot a documentary by Lao Junjia. However, with all the troops in the fight, no one had time to listen to her sing. So, she simply moved into the military headquarters with Feng Yuanxiu and became Ouyang Yun's "orderly".

The battle did not only take place on the front line of the Great Wall of Bagua Pass, Yanqing, and Jialin on the outer line of the Great Wall of Yunzhou, and a big battle was going on at the same time. Yanqing, the three parties participating in the war, a total of Yanqing City's main army with wolf teeth, and then the 29th Army outside the city and the main force of the North China Front. Kabayashi was fought by the Jewish Independent Brigade and the Chahar Task Force led by Hideki Tojo.

Yanqing's defense, Ouyang Yun originally wanted to hand it over to Qin Dechun. However, I don't know where there was an accident in Ludao, the two main divisions of the 29th Army met the Japanese Fifth Division before they entered Yanqing City, and the two sides immediately started a tangled battle. In the case of a short period of time when it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, the change of defense has become an impossible plan. As a result, Ouyang Yun had to let the wolf teeth stay in Yanqing City to prevent the Japanese army from forming an encirclement of the Bagua Pass sniper force.

The battle did not go on as Ouyang Yun had envisioned, which added a lot of variables to the outcome of the Battle of Bagua Pass. And all Ouyang Yun can do now is to use all the strength in his hands, increase investment as much as possible, and solve the Japanese army in the Great Wall as soon as possible, so that it is possible to free up his hands to support the troops fighting on the periphery.

β€”β€”The war is deviating from the track originally set by Ouyang Yun little by little, and the danger in it cannot be understood by those who are not the authorities.

After receiving Ouyang Yun's order, Bai Tassel left quickly. Before she left, Huang Feihong took the folder and shouted at the door to report: "Military seat, the Jewish Independent Brigade is in an emergency." ”

"Read!"

Huang Feihong stood upright, looked at the little commander's face before opening the folder, and then read in a deep voice: "Military Department: Our unit encountered superior Japanese troops in Yujialin, due to the enemy's fighter planes, our tank troops suffered serious losses, and are currently making a strategic retreat towards Chengde. Commander of the Jewish Independent Brigade Stern! ”

"What?" Ouyang Yun's body flashed, and he almost fell in front of him-finally the news of the defeat came, but it was still the most elite Jewish Independent Brigade that he thought was the most elite.

"Throne!" Huang Feihong hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay!" Waving his hand, Ouyang Yun sat on the chair, and began to touch the cigarette with his right hand, but after touching all the pockets on his body, he was stunned and couldn't find a cigarette.

"Throne, smoke me!" Huang Feihong hurriedly took out a cigarette from his body and gave it to him and lit a fire for him.

Taking a puff of cigarette and taking a deep breath, Ouyang Yun calmed down a lot. The Jewish Independent Brigade was defeated by Hideki Tojo, something he had never expected in any case. In this way, what he did in Rehe before was in vain. And once the Jewish Independent Brigade leaves the line of Nantianmen, then Hideki Tojo will definitely take advantage of the situation to move towards Yanqing. The speed of the Japanese army's actions is much faster than that of Ji Xingwen's department, so the pressure on Guo Biao will be greater. Well, that's not all. Once the Chahar task force enters the Great Wall, then Guo Biao and the others will not be able to stop Terauchi Shouyi from dividing his troops. And once it really comes to this, then the Bagua Pass sniper battle will become a joke. The siege and annihilation battle of Bagua Pass, which he painstakingly managed, will also be in vain. Once the Japanese army unites in one place, then whether it is advancing north or south, it will put us in a situation of complete passivity. Nantianmen! Now, the key is up to Zhang Zizhong and Qin Dechun, no matter which way they can form a breakthrough, then they can drag Terauchi Shouichi. At that time, as long as Ji Xingwen can adjust his speed to keep up, not only will this battle continue to be fought, but even the main force of the North China Front will be completely annihilated! The key now is to get a tacit understanding with Zhang Zizhong and Qin Dechun.

After thinking about a cigarette for a long time, and even the cigarette butt burned his hand, Ouyang Yun asked Feng Yuanxiu to hurry up and give him Zhang Zizhong's phone.

Feng Yuanxiu shouted loudly and immediately began to execute. However, when Ouyang Yun threw away the cigarette butt and walked to him, he couldn't get through for a long time.

"Master, I can't get through!"

"Huh?" Ouyang Yun took the microphone and debugged it personally, but there was only a blind sound in the microphone.

"What's going on! Tassel, ask Liu Kui to send someone to take a look. ”

Soon, a mechanic walked in under the leadership of Liu Kui. The mechanic tried to operate it, raised his head and reported: "The machine is fine, it may be that the other party has changed the frequency." ”

"What? How can it be? Well, then try to change the 29th Army. ”

It's still a blind voice, and now, not only Ouyang Yun, but also Liu Kui, Bai Tassel and others are stupid.

Ouyang Yun thought for a while and said to himself: "There is something wrong with the machines on both sides? ”

Mechanic: "Unlikely. ”

Ouyang Yun's face had changed, his heart was suddenly beating fast, and there was a faint tingling, he said, "What's going on?" ”

No one was able to answer him.

In fact, everyone was taken aback by his face.

The little chief's face is now terrifyingly blue.

In this room, Huang Feihong's brain is more flexible, and he sees things more deeply than others. He tentatively asked: "Could it be that they deliberately changed the channel, or turned off the phone?" ”

Liu Kui was puzzled: "Impossible, they have no reason to do this." ”

A word woke up the dreamer, and the face of the white tassel suddenly became ugly. Walking to Ouyang Yun's side, gently patting him on the back, she said, "If this is the case, then it is time to consider withdrawing the army." ”

Liu Kui was stunned, and asked for a while: "Withdraw the army?" So what about Gu Mingchang and them? Sacrificed so many brothers, watching ......"

Ouyang Yun stood up suddenly, turned to Huang Feihong, and asked, "How long has it been since Mu Jian Butterfly heard from him?" ”

"Three days."

"Three days, a lot will happen." Ouyang Yun said, closing his eyes tiredly. In my heart, there is a deep sorrow. Faintly, he already sensed what the problem was.

Present, Huang Feihong and Bai Tassel had vaguely guessed something, but Liu Kui looked puzzled. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Liu Kui immediately walked out of the hall and asked, "What's the matter?" Then, when he saw the wooden sword butterfly being carried by someone and the single male, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The single male had a bandage on his chest, and there was faint blood oozing from the bandage, and when he saw Liu Kui, he only had time to shout: "Zhang Zhen is reversed!" Then the man fainted.

Single male, captain of the Broadsword Special Brigade; Mu Jiandie, the supreme commander of the Fox Pupil Special Force, how did they get together? Moreover, both were extremely badly injured.

This has to start with Xiao Yat and Bai Tassel when they separated.

The reason why Xiao Yi and the white tassels were separated was because they found a mark unique to the broadsword troops. This kind of marking, under normal circumstances, is when they are carrying out covert missions, informing the direction of movement of the follow-up troops. Depending on the urgency of the situation, there are three levels of marking. And what Xiao Yat found was one of the highest ranks. Without alarming the white tassels, Xiao Yi and the others directly chose to break up with them, and then walked down the mark with the other four people. As more and more markers were discovered, and the level never decreased, Xiao Yat realized, "There is an emergency!" Then he ordered: "Keep up!" After following for more than ten miles, with the appearance of the first corpse of a comrade-in-arms, Xiao Yi and the others began to be highly vigilant, and Qian Bin even said cruelly on the spot: "His grandmother's, dare to kill our brother, was caught by Lao Tzu and flayed him alive!" ”

Finally, after walking around the field, he came to a small mountain village. By this time, they had been walking continuously for more than three hours.

"The target should be in this village!" Xiao Yi carefully observed the mountain village for a while and came to a conclusion.

Qian Bin gritted his teeth: "Do it!" ”

Xiao Yi looked around vigilantly and made a silent movement. The five of them couldn't help but hide their whereabouts, but the scene that happened in the next moment made them almost exclaim-
