The battle of Wanping City was the first to start, and after Li Tieshu had no choice but to take a war of attrition, the advantages and disadvantages of the Wanping defenders and the Japanese army were expanded little by little. Both Li Tieshu and Ono Kawaji thought that the fall of Wanping Castle was only a matter of time. However, with the sudden appearance of Zhang Qingyu's troops, this situation was changed.

Ren Qiu, in the war room of the headquarters of the Cadet Army, Ouyang Yun, who had sent off the American delegation, was frowning and frowning in front of the combat map at the moment. He used a two-colored pencil to draw in circles on the map, stopping from time to time to get caught up in a long test.

It is said that after this period of development, the strength of the Cadet Army is large enough. However, out of insight into history, it is necessary to take into account all aspects of the problem, and when it comes to scheduling, Ouyang Yun still has a sense of powerlessness.

March 1936 was destined to be an eventful year for this time and space. The new military group, the Cadet Army, is on the cusp of the limelight, and it cannot be stopped for a moment.

"Report! Wanping emergency electricity! Wang Yanping, the staff officer on duty, stood at the door, holding a telegram and reporting loudly.

Ouyang Yun didn't turn around, and said loudly: "Read!" ”

"Deputy Army Commander Li called, Wanping, with the help of Zhang Qingyu's troops, had repelled the Japanese attack, but the first brigade and the second regiment suffered heavy casualties, and he requested that the defense be handed over to Zhang Qingyu's troops, and the second regiment would be torn down to rest and recuperate......"

"Wanping held it?!" Wang Yanping didn't finish reading the message, several staff officers in the war room raised their heads, and Ouyang Yun walked directly in front of him, snatched the telegram, and read the message at a glance and ten lines, he said repeatedly: "Good, good!" Zhang Qingyu really did a good job. Then, his gaze rested on the casualty figures at the end of the message, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched twice, revealing a look of pain. did not immediately ask Wang Yanping to call Li Tieshu back, he asked about the progress of He Zheng's surrender.

"Regiment Commander He and his subordinates have already arrived at Xifengkou, and in addition, the 1st Tank Battalion and the 1st Self-Propelled Artillery Battalion of the newly formed armored brigade have also arrived at the No. 3 position 50 miles away from Xifengkou......"

Xifengkou was actually lost during the Great Wall War of Resistance, but after the signing of the "Qin-Tu Agreement", because the resistance in the northeast became stronger and stronger, Nanjiro transferred the troops stationed at Xifengkou back and replaced it with a puppet army. As the pass of the Yanshan Mountains, the importance of Xifengkou for the defense of Beiping and Tianjin is self-evident. Ouyang Yun naturally would not give up such an opportunity, and with her personal intervention, Mu Jiandie stepped forward, not only reversed that part of the puppet army early, but also, with the attack and defense of Xifengkou as the subject, the staff of the Xuebing Army formulated a series of combat plans early. In addition, the surrounding areas are correspondingly named after a certain high ground and position.

After He Zhengchuan took over the defense of Xifengkou from the puppet army, he immediately began to strengthen the fortifications. Then, when receiving information from the reconnaissance detachment that the 9th Cavalry Wing, the vanguard of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, was only half an hour away from Xifengkou, a battalion of troops was ambushed on the hills on both sides of the No. 1 position, which was the place to go to Xifengkou.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, on the mountainside on the left side of the No. 1 position, Yang Kangyu, who had been holding a telescope and looking into the distance, finally put the telescope down. He said to the trumpeter and the signal soldier around him: "Report back to the regiment, the little devil is here." Raise the flag and prepare the opposing brother for battle. ”

The trumpeter answered, took out two small flags from his body, and waved the flags at the opposite side. The signal corpsman picked up the walkie-talkie and began to call out the regimental code name.

Yang Kangyu picked up the telescope again, looked at it for a while and whispered: "Good boy, there are still a lot of people in Yishui!" Putting down the binoculars, he lowered his voice and shouted: "Brothers, all hidden, pay attention to my orders!" ”

Ten minutes later, in the sight of the soldiers, billowing dust rose from the end of the road winding through the mountains, and in a moment, a team of devil cavalry appeared in everyone's field of vision. After another ten minutes or so, there were three hundred devil cavalry lined up at the Chaoxi Peak Pass.

"The little devil is quite vigilant!" Seeing the dozen or so devils who were the first to look up the mountain from time to time, and the devil officers among them also held up the binoculars, Yang Kangyu sneered and shrunk his neck.

The officers and men of their regiment, Yishui's camouflage uniforms, and even their helmets were camouflaged with camouflage cloth, and it was basically impossible for the devils to distinguish them from the bottom of the mountain.

The devil officer's telescope rotated one hundred and eighty degrees in front of him, as if to confirm that there was no ambush on both sides, and with a wave of his hand, the speed of the whole team increased again, and the kick and tap ran in the direction of Xifengkou.

"Closer!" Yang Kangyu silently thought in his heart, and when the dozen or so devil cavalry at the head passed in front of him, he suddenly raised his shell gun, and shouted while shooting: "Fight!" ”

"Hit!" "Ping Pong", with a series of shouts, gunshots rang out. Later, dozens of grenades fell from the mountainsides on both sides, and in the "boom" explosion, the devil cavalry who was in the ambush circle was beaten and neighed. More than a dozen people were hung up in an instant.

"There is an ambush! Rush over—" As soon as the shots rang out, the battle-hardened devil officer immediately shouted and gave the most correct order. I saw that his legs clamped the horse's belly violently, and he tightened the reins and wanted to rush over. However, as an officer, his goal was too obvious, how could nearly three hundred cadet officers and soldiers on both sides let go of this big fish - his body had just fallen on the horse's back, and several bullets had already chased him, one of which hit the horse's head and the other in the head, immediately leaving him and the tall horse to fall down at the same time.

The attack came too suddenly, and the squadron leader who led the team died too early, and the little devil's team was immediately in chaos. Some people began to desperately try to break through the dead zone, others were dismounted by frightened horses, and others struggled to control the frightened horses while holding a gun in one hand in a vain attempt to fight back against the attackers.

"Rush! Destroy them! Seeing that the first wave of blows had achieved the desired effect, Yang Kangyu immediately straightened up and shouted, and then took the lead and rushed down the mountain.

"Doot toot!" The trumpeter stood tall on a boulder, puffed out his cheeks and sounded the trumpet. Then the warriors scrambled out of cover and shouted, "Kill! He rushed down the hill with his weapon in hand.

After the devil cavalry got through the initial panic, under the dispatch of several low-ranking officers, there was already a tendency to stabilize at this time. Dozens of them actually drew their sabers, turned their horses' heads, and rushed up the hill without fear of death. However, in the face of the close firepower of the "Weiqing-style" assault rifles, their seemingly heroic actions were so stupid that they were beaten into a hornet's nest with only one shot.

Yang Kangyu was known as "Yang Maniac" when he started the battle, and he rushed to the front, while firing with a shell gun, he shouted excitedly: "Brothers, don't let any of them go!" Hit me hard! ”
