"Ouyang. Do you think you have a chance of winning this battle? Can Wanping hold on? Jiang Shuren asked, looking at Ouyang Yun's young and slightly haggard face, and felt a little trembling in his heart. Ouyang Yun is still too young, he didn't think it before, but now, this feeling is so strong - the reason why this feeling occurs is only because of the strength shown by the Japanese this time, right? Jiang Shuren thought in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Chief Ouyang, my people are very worried now, they don't know what the tomorrow of Lu Dao Renqiu will be," Old Bonn continued Jiang Shuren's words, not hiding the worry in his heart at all.

The Japanese have a lot of money this time, and the corresponding thing is their determination to fight. Although the Cadet Army had won victories in the friction with Japan again and again, at that time, Japan had only used at most one division and twenty or thirty fighters......

Such thoughts are not only filled in the hearts of old Bonn and others, but also in the minds of Zhang Zhen and others. It is not that they are arrogant, but it is really that the Japanese are too fierce this time, and another point is that except for Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army, which has made substantial "ally" moves because of its vital interests, the Nanjing government still has two Guangzhou, and at present they are only shouting loud slogans and holding their guns low. What makes people particularly chilling is that Han Fuqu in Shandong not only had no intention of sending troops to fight the enemy, but he even fell into the trap and started a farce of disarming the Self-Defense Forces in the place where Shandong and North China are bordered.

Of course, as a veteran who has been in the army for many years, although these situations are frustrating, they are not enough to shake Zhang Zhen's belief, and what he is most worried about now is actually Ouyang Yun, I don't know if he can withstand it at this most critical time. It's not that he underestimated Ouyang Yun, it's really that Ouyang Yun's performance during this period of time makes people feel bottomless, which makes Zhang Zhen have to think of his age, and then he can't help but think the same as Jiang Shuren, thinking: Ouyang is still too young.

I can't help Zhang Zhen not express such emotion, take today's meeting as an example, since everyone arrived, it is not the first time that Jiang Shuren and Lao Bonn have spoken, but Ouyang Yun sat there with a frown, and he didn't say a word until now.

"Ouyang, this can't be done, even if you know that you are invincible, you must not lose your morale, otherwise, this battle will not be able to be fought! You're going to have to hold on! In his heart, Zhang Zhen shouted, and on his face, he looked at Ouyang Yun quietly, hoping that he could give himself a miracle.

As if sensing the call in Zhang Zhen's heart, five minutes after Old Bonn spoke, Ouyang Yun raised his head, and his eyes finally regained the look of the past. He stood up, glanced at everyone with blazing eyes, and then swore solemnly: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Bonn, I can now give you a clear guarantee that Wanping will never be lost, and our student army will never be defeated." Yes, the Japanese are very strong, and the Kwantung Army is the best in the Japanese army, but let's not forget that we won the two Wen'an battles and the Tianjin victory, and we won beautifully. Well, I don't think there's any need for this meeting. Lao Zhang," his gaze fell on Zhang Zhen, who followed his gaze and stood up, and said, "The parade, which was originally scheduled for the first day of next month, should be brought forward to this afternoon, in order to show the determination of our army to resist the Japanese invaders, well, merchants, civilians, and Jewish representatives are allowed to visit." The existence of the Cadet Army is to protect them, so that they know that the strength of their own soldiers should also be," he said as he looked at Ouyang Stern, and said with a smile: "Stern, your independent brigade is also going to participate in this exercise, I hope you can enter the top three in the group!" ”

"Yes!" Stern stood up cheerfully, answered loudly, and gave a military salute.

Ouyang Yun returned the military salute, smiled and said to Jiang Shuren and Old Bonn: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Bonn, tomorrow you will see the true strength of our student army. Trust me, you'll be amazed! ”

Ouyang Yun's performance this time can be said to be similar to before. Don't talk about the others, because of Ouyang Yun's self-confidence, the solemn look on their faces was swept away. Taking Zhang Zhen as an example, he was sincerely happy about Ouyang Yun's performance at this time-no matter whether the Xuebing Army was really as strong as Ouyang said, whether its current self-confidence was pretended or not, one thing worth affirming was that Ouyang had indeed improved in his cultivation in the art of commanding-he thought about it like this, and felt a little old for the first time.

Keep your eyes back on the Wanping front. After a series of bombardments, Ono Kawaji commanded his men to launch a tidal wave of fierce attacks on the Lugou Bridge. Because of the fate of the annihilation of the artillery unit before, this time, Ono did not concentrate all the artillery together, but scattered it and cooperated with mortars and grenadiers to carry out precision strikes. What we have to admit here is that the quality of the Japanese army's individual soldiers is indeed very high, and for example, these 75-mm gunners can hit the target in the third shot without pre-calculating the shooting elements. This caused great casualties to the vanguard platoon of the 2nd Regiment defending frontally on the Lugou Bridge, and this little devil had already suffered a third of the casualties before he could enter the firing range......

"Deputy army commander, this can't be done, if you don't wait for the little devil's infantry to rush over, Cai Fazhen's platoon will be killed and wounded," In the bunker at the head of Wanping City, Fu Kaiming was so anxious that he said to Li Tieshu worriedly.

Li Tieshu knew the meaning of his words, which was to let him transfer the artillery. After all, against artillery, only artillery works. However, the artillery that was finally hidden was the magic weapon of the Wanping defenders, and if it was taken out now, the strength of the party would be completely exposed. Shaking his head, he said: "Wait and talk, let Cai Fa check them a little smarter, it is enough to leave a lookout outside, and the others will hide in the anti-artillery hole first." ”

"Deputy Commander, the anti-artillery holes have almost been blown up—"

"Execute the order!"

"Yes!" Fu Kaiming gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, turned around and ran down - he wanted to personally convey this order to Cai Fajian and them.

"Brigadier Fu, what's wrong with you?" Lai Qiang saw him running down in person, shouted from behind, but was stopped by Li Tieshu before he finished speaking: "Let him go, at this time, he is not only a brigade commander, I am the same, we are first and foremost a soldier!" ”

"Throne!" didn't understand this sentence at first, Lai Qiang shouted a little ignorantly.

Li Tieshu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Lai, you will understand in the future." Well, you go too, show me Fu Kaiming, he forgot everything when he was impulsive. ”

"Yes!" Lai Qiang saluted him and chased Kaiming.
