In the Japanese Concession of Tianjin, in the headquarters of the Japanese North China Tun garrison, in the face of Onogawa Er, who had returned from the feathers, Hideki Tojo's face looked very ugly. Before setting out for the war, Onogawaji described the so-called "land-air" coordinated operations as wonderful, but facts have proved that it is so difficult to achieve "coordination" in terms of the current level of training of the Japanese army. It seems that the Xuebing Army is completely different from the previous Chinese army, and what makes him deeply taboo is that compared with the previous situation of the three great powers in the Jicha region, the composition of China's power is much simpler now.

Although the central government in Nanjing, China, has not issued a document explicitly banning the 29th Army, Beiping, including the 29th Army, has now become part of the 57th Army and the Cadet Army. As far as the personal relationship between Zhang Zizhong and Ouyang Yun is concerned, these two powerful forces are out-and-out allies. It was precisely because of the cooperation of these two powerful forces that the 108th Division suffered such a crushing defeat, and now there are still several thousand people being used as cattle and horses by the Cadet Army, which is unacceptable to the Japanese, who have always held themselves very high. If such news were to be transmitted back to China, what kind of consequences would it have for the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Army, Hideki Tojo couldn't imagine it.

It was precisely because he was worried that such an accident would happen, and in order to wash away the shame of the defeat in Tianjin, Nanjiro, after enlisting his support, uncharacteristically transferred manpower from several other divisions of the Kwantung Army to reorganize the 108th Division. Moreover, the Ninth Division was transferred, hoping to nip the 57th Army and the Cadet Army in the bud with a hearty victory. However, the direction of the battle situation was much more than he and Minamijiro expected, and it turned out that the Cadet Army was more powerful than they had known. After the first round of fighting, the Xuebing Army not only held Wanping, but also scared back the advance troops of the Ninth Division with the help of the chariot troops. Although the newly formed 108th Division took the initiative in Shanhaiguan, it did not completely crush the morale of Zhang Zizhong's 57th Army. However, what if you break through the Shanhaiguan? Because of the sudden attack of the two special police columns left behind by Yu Xuezhong, the eastern Hebei region is now out of the control of the Kwantung Army, and Xifengkou has been occupied by the Xuebing Army. If it marches from Shanhaiguan alone, the Kwantung Army will have to face the combined forces of the 57th Army and the Cadet Army, which have considerable strategic depth......

Hideki Tojo thought about it with great difficulty, and gradually became a little indecisive - at a time when the empire had not yet made a full-scale declaration of war on China and completed the allocation of troops, should the military operations in North China be collected now? While the war has not yet entered a stalemate, perhaps it is a good idea to hold a new round of negotiations.

On the position where Xifengkou was marked as the No. 1 highland, Ouyang Yun was patrolling the mountains ahead with a telescope. The traces left by yesterday's chariot battle are still faintly visible, and inside the Great Wall of Xifengkou, the scrap copper and rotten iron of the Japanese army are being dismembered and transported away.

He Zhengzhen stood behind him and said: "Junza, our tanks are really good, and the Japanese tanks are like toys in front of them. If only we had more tanks. ”

Putting down the binoculars and glancing at him, Ouyang Yun realized a problem and said in a serious tone: "Commander He, so to speak, if we don't have tanks, we can't win against the Japanese?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I just thought that with tanks there would be fewer deaths."

The weapons of the Xuebing Army are among the best in the world. It is important to know that with the thickness of the armor of the "Jiguang 1" tank, it is impossible for anti-tank guns with a caliber of more than 105 mm to penetrate it. As for the enemy control, the Cadet Research and Development Institute is already beginning to develop anti-tank rockets. Since the automatic rifle was developed by the Soldier Research and Development Institute, Ouyang Yun has not worried about the backwardness of equipment, and correspondingly, he is more worried about the morale of the army and the quality of the soldiers. As a descendant, he clearly instructed that the reason why China was able to defeat Japan in World War II was not because of equipment, but because of spirit -- the spirit of not being afraid of death and being willing to shed blood for the nation and the country.

Hearing He Zhengchuan say this, and thinking of the fact that the soldiers of the Cadet Corps generally only have more than a month of military training, Ouyang Yunzhi said that it is time to spend more energy on the spirit and will to fight, otherwise, no matter how powerful the weapons and equipment are, without the determination to dare to fight to the death, the Cadet Corps will eventually be unable to escape the possibility of being submerged by the sea of Japanese soldiers. It is important to know that in history, North China was the first Chinese territory conquered by the Japanese army after the three northeastern provinces.

After thinking about it, he said: "Commander He, you also know the Dao, I have studied the army for a very short time, and the territory under my jurisdiction is only Jicha most of it. In such a large place, it is not easy for us to feed the cadet army, and if we want to strengthen the armament on a large scale, there will be a big gap in the supply of materials. Therefore, although we have developed such a sharp tank, in the end, if we want to keep the Japanese army out of the defensive ground, we can only rely on our flesh and blood - I mean, do you understand? ”

Before this, He Zhengchuan hadn't considered these at all because of the problem of identity and status, and when he heard the words, he thought about it deeply, and couldn't help sweating slightly, and said in confusion: "Junzao, I know the way." ”

Ouyang Yun was talking with He Zhengchuan, and the white tassel suddenly ran up in a hurry, shouting from afar: "Military seat, Ren Qiu is in a hurry." ”

The telegram was handed over to Ouyang Yun, and he looked at it, his brows furrowed. Although the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge incident was more than a year ahead of schedule, everything else seems to be developing according to the original trajectory. After the 9th Division retreated 50 miles, it did not move, and the 108th Division also stopped its attack on Shanhaiguan - the Japanese were again playing the trick of openly negotiating and secretly dispatching troops. It's just that I don't know if Lao Jiang will continue to make stupid moves this time. He was secretly speculating that Chen Shichang walked up with a few officers who were obviously dressed differently from the Cadet Army.

Ouyang Yun looked over carefully, and immediately recognized that the first person in charge was Zhao Dengyu. "Deputy Commander Zhao?" He immediately greeted him warmly, and naturally gave a military salute.

"Commander Ouyang!" After returning a military salute, Zhao Dengyu and Ouyang Yun shook hands warmly and said, "I really didn't expect you to go to the front line, but let me find it easily." ”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ouyang Yun realized that he had actually rushed over from Ren Qiu.

Zhao Dengyu came to Ouyang Yun in such a hurry, naturally because of the current battle situation. After the greetings, he was not polite, and directly explained the intention of this time. It turned out that the 57th Army's contact battle with the 108th Division at Shanhaiguan temporarily repelled the Japanese attack, but the casualties were very large. The reason for this is that the number of artillery pieces is too small, and then there are not enough anti-aircraft weapons, under the triple blow of Japanese aircraft, tanks, and artillery, if it is not for the morale of the people, it is estimated that Shanhaiguan has been lost by now. At the same time, the Cadet Corps not only completely annihilated a cavalry squadron of the Ninth Division, but also scared the little devils back with tanks.

Thinking of the role played by the artillery unit of the Tianjin Dajie Middle School last time, Zhang Zizhong, Zhao Dengyu and others decided to come to Ouyang Yun after discussion to see if they could borrow some more artillery or air defense weapons to go back.
