On this day, fierce battles took place in many places in Jicha, among them, Wangjiawei fought the most tragically.

The strength of the Xuebing Army in Wangjiawei was only Zhang Yantian's Second Column of Special Police and the Third Brigade of the First Division of Xue. Ouyang Yunkai initially wanted to leave the guard regiment behind, but was unanimously opposed by all the generals, including Zhang Yantian. And they were faced with the Japanese army of almost five divisions.

According to Ouyang Yun's arrangement, the battle of Wangjiawei took place first in front of the small river in front of that small hillside. The third regiment and one battalion of the second column of the special police were responsible for the first round of blocking and luring the enemy. On the Japanese side, the first round of the attack was carried out by the 1st Mixed Brigade, which had already been disabled. The reason why Sakai Hoji wanted to fight for this seemingly unflattering first attack was to wash away the defeat he suffered at the Iron Gate Pass.

The Japanese army attached great importance to honor, so although no one showed it, the generals of the 1st Mixed Brigade such as Sakai Hoji, who had low self-esteem, saw the ridicule and ridicule in the eyes of the officers and men of the other units.

Devils who have not had direct contact with the Cadet Army will not regard the Cadet Army as a real opponent. The concept of "the second strongest army in the world" not only exists in the hearts of the little devil generals, but also ordinary soldiers. Undoubtedly, the first Great Wall War of Resistance fueled the psychology of the little devils. With 50,000 against 350,000, he also achieved a "brilliant" victory at the end, which is indeed a remarkable martial art. In this respect, they do have the capital of pride.

The air battle that just ended caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on the little devils. Also, accustomed to the arrogance of the fighters on the Chinese, the little devils are not used to them being shot down and running away in ashes. However, more devils believe that this is just a mistake by the air force, and the samurai under His Majesty the Emperor are still invincible in a ground duel.

Is that really the case?

First of all, without artillery fire to open the way, the fortifications of that place would have to be leveled with their bodies and blood. Kiyoji Kazuki made a big mistake, and under no circumstances should have gathered the artillery units of the divisions and regiments for use. Now, of course, he has no energy to regret it. After receiving a joint report from Yoshizu Ryosuke and Shimoto Xiongmi, and learning that they were marching towards Wangjiawei with all their might, the old devil realized that this was the best time to take Wangjiawei in one fell swoop. And then what? Encircled Changping and annihilated the main force of the Xuebing Army...... Thinking a little too far, thinking a little too well. However, if Wangjiawei can really be conquered in one fell swoop, the dream may really come true.

In front of the small river, Sakai Hoji personally pressed the formation, and at that time, he was waving the command knife in his hand to boost morale: "As warriors under His Majesty the Emperor? The samurai of the Yamato nation with excellent bloodlines, we will wash away the shame of our defeat with the blood of the Shina people. Now, this opportunity is in front of us, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Empire, let's fight! ”

About 30 meters south of that small river, the officers and men of the 2nd Column and 1st Battalion of the 2nd Column and 3rd Regiment of the Special Police built simple fortifications. Seeing the little devil's sappers running close to the river with wooden planks or something, the battalion commander Lin Keqing waved the shell gun in his right hand and shouted: "Fight!" With a flick of his wrist, he pulled the trigger.

On the other side of the river, Japanese artillery runs, grenadiers, and machine-gun positions had already been set up. In fact, when the fighters of the two sides were still fighting, the opposing sides on the ground had already pointed their guns at each other. As soon as the gunshots rang out here, the guns on the other side of the river rang out immediately.

The width of the creek here is only about five meters, which is the narrowest part of the creek. If the Japanese army wants to attack Wangjiawei, this is undoubtedly the best place to cross the river. In the other two places, one has to travel more than ten kilometers. The other place is the first line of Huangzhuang and Lijiatunzi.

The Japanese army was strong, and at this time, one brigade each was heading towards the above two locations. Of course, without exception, they were blocked and harassed by the small units of the Cadet Army.

The battle around this creek is destined to be the most striking of all the battles of today. Neither side has heavy weapons, and squad-platoon-level support firepower (mortars and grenadiers) is countable. Relying on the guns and grenades in their hands, in this case, the three regiments and one battalion once firmly grasped the direction of the battlefield. Soon, a squadron of Japanese engineers fell on the riverbank. After losing this division of labor, Sakai Ho was so distracted that he simply drove a dozen large trucks directly into the river, and the river was not deep, so he followed these trucks, and the Japanese soldiers began to cross the river. And once the Japanese army successfully crossed the river, as its numerical superiority was established, it became more and more difficult for the first battalion to block it.

According to the strategy formulated before, after sacrificing a platoon of soldiers, Lin Keqing decisively issued an order to retreat, and slowly led the Japanese army to the ambush site with a company.

After all the troops of the 1st Brigade had crossed the river, Kiyoji Kazuki began to order the engineer wing of the 16th Division to erect a pontoon bridge. And just as the devil sappers were laying the first bridge pile, the small hillside suddenly remembered the continuous violent explosion. After the explosion, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and under the gaze of Kiyoji Kazuki, the first brigade rushed to the front, and immediately fell nearly a third of its troops.

The ambush mission of the Cadet Corps was carried out by the 11 regiment of the three brigades. In order to do a good job in this ambush battle, last night, Gu Mingchang and Deng Zige went to the front line in person and instructed the soldiers to lay a large number of serial string mines.

"Rush!" Once the mine was detonated, next, under the leadership of the regiment commander Fang Youwei, the soldiers of the 11th Regiment jumped out of the ambush site and launched a counter-charge. Soon, the mixed 1st Brigade was driven back to the river.

In this kind of short-distance contact battle, the firepower advantage of the Weiqing-style assault infantry and submachine guns was vividly brought into play, and under the blows of the soldiers of the 11th Regiment and the three battalions of the soldiers, the Japanese army could not even organize an effective blockade, so they could only follow the defeated brigade to retreat to the river, and were soon compressed to the riverside area as a whole. Some devils, because they have nowhere to hide, are now jumping into the river with you.

Sakai Hoji was dragged down by his subordinates, and finally came to his senses at this time. Facing the cowardice of his subordinates, the old devil was furious and scolded angrily: "Bage, resist me!" With a wave of the command knife in his hand, he slashed over the two devils who happened to flee to his side.

As soon as he killed people, the rout of the little devil was immediately contained. Fang Youwei and Lin Keqing led the team to rush again, and found that they couldn't mess up the devil formation, but were killed and injured by the mortars and grenadiers across the river in vain, so they retreated in an orderly manner.
