Chapter 2: The Arduous War of Resistance (9)
This is related to an order issued by Ouyang Yun. The three brigades, plus the teaching corps, do not belong to the same chain of command. After a long period of running, the soldiers were seriously overdrawn in physical strength. In April in North China, the weather was still cold, but the soldiers were all sweating profusely, and some of them even covered the few strands of hair exposed under their helmets. Ouyang Yun, who had been fatigued by the special forces of later generations, knew what could best stimulate people's potential at this time, so he ordered: A competition will be launched between the five teams, the three brigades, the teaching corps and the troops directly under the army, which unit will rush to Changping first, which team will receive the title of "marching model", and will call on the whole army to study.
From the very beginning of its formation, the Cadet Corps has attached great importance to the cultivation of a sense of honor, and the soldiers' sense of personal honor and the collective honor of the troops. Therefore, in Tong Linge's opinion, this competition of drawing cakes on paper is not inferior to the real cake in the eyes of all departments of the Cadet Army. As soon as Ouyang Yun's order was issued, in addition to teaching the corps, including the troops directly under the army, he immediately accelerated the speed of the march. Among them, the most exaggerated is the first division and the third brigade, in the brigade commander Deng Zige's shout, I saw that the various squad and platoon units began to redistribute equipment and materials, and the stronger ones began to help the less burdened. Then, at the sound of the brigade commander's command, the whole brigade began to run forward. Compared with the first division and the three brigades, the other two brigades also had their own means, and without exception, all the brigade commanders and chiefs of staff gave up their cars and began to advance on foot with the large army, and their vehicles were all used to carry heavy machine guns, mortars, and other relatively heavy weapons and equipment.
In the face of the ruthlessness shown by these brigades of the Cadet Army, Tong Linge and other officers of the teaching corps were dumbfounded. Then, I don't know who shouted: "Brothers? Are we going to lose to the bottom of the Cadet Army? Run! "All the troops increased their march almost at the same time.
At this acceleration of the large army, when He Zheng's latest battle report and telegram for help were sent, Ouyang Yun inquired and found that the fastest division and three filters had entered the territory of Changping, and at this time they were marching in a place called Bald Head Ridge. And Bald Ridge is only 20 kilometers away from Lijiatunzi, where the two sides are fighting. Therefore, he immediately ordered the 1st Division and 3rd Brigade to abandon the existing route and go north instead, so that they could go around to Huangzhuang. The Huangzhuang here is located in the northwest of Lijiatunzi, only about five kilometers away from Lijiatunzi. Due to the effective organization of He Zhengchuan's evacuation action, the people of Huangzhuang had also arrived in Lijiatunzi at this time. Ouyang Yun first scattered the first division and three brigades, and then ordered the other troops to continue to advance towards Changping, while he led the staff officers of the army headquarters on the side of the road to discuss the operational arrangements for the latest series of new moves of the Japanese army.
After Chen Shichang withdrew to Renqiu with the seed troops of various brigades, the staff officer of the former First Military Police Regiment named Gu Mingchang who was now in charge of the work of the staff headquarters was now in charge. Gu Mingchang quickly put down the map on the side of the road, and then pointed to the line from Changping to Nankou and said: "The Japanese army has now controlled Nankou, and Nankou is quite close to Wanping, they will definitely not let go of the opportunity to capture Wanping." After the last battle, Wanping is now dilapidated, and when used as a walled city, its defensive ability is not as good as before. Once Wanping fell, Beiping was directly exposed to the Japanese army. Once Peiping faced the Japanese artillery fire, then our army would be quite passive. Not only is there a danger that the whole army will be encircled, but it will also completely lose contact with the headquarters of the deputy chief of staff of Kyrgyzstan. The military seat, the south entrance must be recaptured. ”
Ouyang Yun nodded. He said: "The south exit must not be controlled by the Japanese. However, we can't let go of the fat of the 18th Brigade. The Japanese army is like a big fat man for us, if you want to defeat this big fat man, it is impossible to eat it in one bite, and the best way is to bite it when you have the opportunity to lose weight slowly. Did Mingchang, Guo Biao and Shan Renxiong send a telegram back to report their whereabouts? ”
"There was no whereabouts, just a report on the next operational step. The Wolf Tooth was now divided into a number of small units, and was carrying out surprise attacks on the Japanese perimeter forces and those more conspicuous officer targets. The broadsword was divided into three parts, and at this time it was cruising along the Great Wall to harass the Japanese army's logistics supply lines. ”
"Later, you can send a telegram to Guo Biao and Shan Xiong, and let them immediately rush back to the area of Yanchang Huai with the whole army," Ouyang Yun said, making a circle between Yanqing, Changping, and Huairou, "The wolf tooth and the big knife are the two wolves we released from the wilderness, and after letting them go into the wild for so long, it's time to start the role of the special forces." Tell the solo heroes that their mission is to be ready to reclaim the entrance to the Great Wall on the Yanchang Line at any time, so that they are ready to fight a defensive battle. As for Guo Biao, their task was to intensively monitor the movements of the large Japanese forces assembled in Huairou and prepare for the beheading of high-ranking Japanese officials. ”
Gu Mingchang understood as soon as he heard it, and asked, "Junzao, are you going to eat the 18th Brigade?" But what about the south exit? The Japanese army in Nankou now has only one wing, and if it wants to recover, only one brigade is enough, and if it waits for the Japanese army to assemble, it will be difficult to fight. ”
Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Nankou is to be recaptured, otherwise, Wanping and Beiping may become unfavorable factors that will make our army fall into a politically passive situation." However, the Japanese army has not yet completed its assembly, think about it, if the 19th Brigade is dumpled by us, will the other Japanese troops be indifferent? Which of you has been to Lijiatunzi? ”
The staff officers shook their heads, but a guard named Guo Cheng said, "I have been there." ”
Ouyang Yun nodded: "Have you paid attention to this place in Lijiatunzi, the rare plain area, and the soil is soft, which is not conducive to building high-quality bunker fortifications." What do you think if we choose to fight the Japanese army here? ”
Gu Mingchang said: "The terrain conditions are equal for the two warring sides, and this kind of terrain should be beneficial to the warring side with the largest number of them." ”
"Yes," Ouyang Yun smiled, he was glad that Gu Mingchang could have such an opinion. However, for reasons of secrecy, he did not tell the whole story, only to see him blink, a rare playful time, and then said, "You guys wait." I'll give the little devil a gift that I'll never forget. ”
"Throne?" The staff officers began to look at their junior commander with burning eyes. Others began to mumble, "The military seat is here again." It can be seen that Ouyang Yun often behaves so mysteriously.
As a traverser, because of his age, Ouyang Yun's scheming in terms of mind often makes people feel like they are close to demons. And his personality as a time-traveler is even more incompatible with the youth of this era. Fortunately, he succeeded and became a superior person, so that people did not demonize him because of these qualities, but felt that she was full of mystery.
This can be regarded as a great innate advantage of the traverser.
