In the Great Wall War of Resistance, although the ratio of Chinese and Japanese forces reached an astonishing six to one, and the Chinese army belonged to the defending side, it ended in defeat for the Chinese side. During the campaign, Rehe was captured by the Japanese army, and the east of Jicha became the so-called demilitarized zone. For a time, Pingjin was toyed with by the Japanese.

Once, when Ouyang Yun studied this chapter at the military academy, he daydreamed about how he would do it if he was a member of the Chinese army at that time, so as to help the country wash away this shame.

He really had this chance.

The lone rise of the student army is not accidental, and its impact on the situation in North China is far-reaching. The victory of Tianjin made the Japanese understand the power of the Xuebing Army, and began to re-examine this newly rising opponent, thus having this second Battle of the Great Wall.

The Japanese will make a move in North China, which is something that Ouyang Yun has long expected. To this end, he also made many targeted moves, such as closing nearly 100 large and small passes along the Great Wall, which is a targeted measure he made in advance.

At first, many people were puzzled by his move. The officers and men of the Scholar Army, including the common people under his rule, believed that the Scholar Army would one day cross the Great Wall, regain Rehe, and even the entire lost territory. Ouyang Yun's approach fell in the eyes of some radical people, but he didn't want to forge ahead.

The rapid development of the Cadet Corps was beyond the expectations of the Japanese. And this time the dispatch of such a large number of troops in one fell swoop shows Japan's determination to attack North China and eliminate the student army. However, the topography of Xifengkou and the existence of the Great Wall determine that this game between the two sides is definitely a protracted war. This is also the main reason why the Japanese army wants to open up a battlefield in Shandong, if Shandong can form a breakthrough, then the Japanese army can not only bypass Hebei and directly enter Shanxi and other hinterland of China, but also can form an encirclement of Hebei and Chahar.

It's still June 4th. Almost at the same moment as the gunfire rang out at Xifengkou, the Japanese army launched a tidal offensive at Tiemen Pass and other passes along the Great Wall east of Xifengkou, and Zhang Gongming sent all the troops of his first division, which stabilized the situation. At the same time, inside and outside the Iron Gate Pass, the original artillery regiment of the 3rd Division and the self-propelled artillery battalion that had just been obtained had already fired at the artillery wing of the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. In the rumbling sound of artillery, all the other troops of the Third Division left their temporary camps and quietly waited for the attack order of the division commander Li Ganjiang.

Because the ultimate goal of the Third Division was to break out of the Iron Gate Pass and attack the Great Shosho, and the defense of the Iron Gate Pass would eventually be handed over to Ouyang Stern's Jewish Independent Brigade, Li Ganjiang did not lay mines on the high ground on both sides of the Iron Gate Pass, but directly occupied the high ground and the positions under the Iron Gate Pass with the strength of a battalion.

Outside the iron gate, the sound of guns and cannons was in full swing, Li Ganjiang looked at his watch from time to time, listening to the sound of guns, he was waiting for the best time to attack.

What he didn't expect was that at this time, Stern was talking to Ouyang Yun on the phone. And this call has a lot to do with the Third Division.

From a soldier's point of view, as a "soldier king" from later generations, Ouyang Yun deserves to be a qualified or even excellent soldier. However, there is a gap between him and a general and a handsome person who commands the whole army. Ouyang Yun was self-aware of this, so at this time, he did not feel ashamed and uneasy because he wanted to change his previous order. On the phone, he asked Stern straight to the point: "How long will it take for your brigade to be assembled?" ”

He asked directly, and Stern replied cheerfully: "Ten minutes!" ”

"Okay, ten minutes later, your department will replace the third division, go out of the iron gate, and attack the big shojizi! Stern, the biggest advantage of the Independent Brigade is the step, that is, the speed, and I want you to make good use of that! ”

Stern's tactical skills were high, and he immediately understood that the Jewish officer did not despise the other party because the junior commander changed his orders every day, but was very excited. He replied loudly: "Yes!" Stern is guaranteed to complete the mission! ”

After talking to Stern on the phone, Ouyang Yun immediately called Li Ganjiang again.

Li Ganjiang was full of ambition, and suddenly received a call asking the Third Division and the Independent Brigade to swap roles, and this Shaanxi man couldn't hold his breath. As far as the eye could see, the soldiers of the independent brigade were lining up and regrouping, and the tanks, self-propelled guns, and marching trucks were all activated. Throne? What is this for? Our whole division is ready to fight a vicious battle......"

"This is my negligence," Ouyang Yun did not hesitate to take the responsibility on himself, "There are at least three benefits to letting the Independent Brigade replace the Third Division." The most important of these is that the Independent Brigade is a mechanized infantry brigade, and its marching speed is much higher than that of your three divisions; Secondly, the Japanese army had very little information about the Independent Brigade, which would have caused them to misestimate the strength of the Independent Brigade; At the rear, the Independent Brigade had advanced weapons and equipment, and was more advantageous in attacking fortifications, while the Third Division was better at defense. ”

For the Japanese, the Cadet Army Jewish Independent Brigade is definitely a mysterious unit. Before the pre-war meeting, Ouyang Yun considered that with the start of the war, the little devils would definitely strengthen the infiltration of espionage, and in the conversation with Zhang Zhen and Jiang Shuren, he quoted the words of a great soldier of the tower era to make a vivid interpretation of the current security work: treat the enemy as ruthless as a harsh winter, and treat comrades as warm as spring.

Ouyang Yun's speech is often unexpected, Jiang Shuren and Zhang Zhen have not been frightened or amazing by him once or twice, and this time is naturally no exception. Now, unless Ouyang Yun takes the initiative to let the Japanese obtain some "information," Matsui Kutaro will not be able to obtain anything of value from his former subordinates in North China. In this way, although the Japanese knew that there was such a unit in the Jewish Independent Brigade, they were completely discredited with its composition and combat strength.

Ordering the whole army to be disbanded and returned to the battle position, Li Ganjiang and several staff officers and division commander Wang Chao stood on the halfway of a mountain peak in the Tiemen Pass, watching the soldiers of the Jewish Independent Brigade climb into the truck majestically, and he said unwillingly: "Grandma's, what a good opportunity!" I'm sure that after this war, the name of the Jewish Independent Brigade will make the headlines of the newspapers one day! ”

Wang Chao looked at so many trucks, and said with envy in his heart: "The military seat lets the independent brigade fight the big shoji, this change of tactics is naturally right." But are they just rushing over? Outside the Iron Gate, there is a little devil waiting for a mixed brigade, as far as I know, it is called a brigade, but in fact it is the establishment of a division. If these Jews don't get out of the car, how will this battle be fought? ”

Li Ganjiang had already seen this, but based on his understanding of Stern, he said: "Wait and see, this Stern must have already thought of a countermeasure." This yellow-haired man, there is still a set of wars. ”
