Canglin Village, five kilometers away from Wangjiawei, is a small village with only more than ten households. After Gu Mingchang's personal persuasion last night, all the people in the village left the village early in the morning and handed over the dilapidated adobe walls and thatched-roof huts to the Xuebing Army.

Ouyang Yun handed over Wang Jiawei's entire defense operation to Gu Mingchang, precisely because he took a fancy to his ability to handle things comprehensively and meticulously. Although Ouyang Yun did not mention that the Japanese army outside Changping City might carry out a front and rear attack on Wangjiawei, Gu Mingchang still considered it. Correspondingly, he arranged a reconnaissance company directly under the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division in Canglin Village.

Yoshizu Ryosuke led the heavy troops of two brigades and regiments, and under the cover of a mountain artillery wing, they went to Wangjiawei, and Canglin Village was a must-pass place. It was not clear whether there were defenders in Kurayashi Village, and out of an abundance of caution, Yoshizu Ryosuke sent a squadron to conduct a tentative attack. Diao Yide, the company commander of the reconnaissance company directly under the Third Brigade, was returned by the wolf's tooth because he had broken the little finger of his left hand during a training session. Ninety percent of the composition of the first division are students from universities in Peiping, which can be regarded as the most veritable contingent of cadet soldiers. Because of their generally high cultural knowledge, these cadets have the characteristics of their own troops. As an "illiterate" who had only studied in a private school for a few years, when he first came to the reconnaissance company, it was difficult for him to carry out his work. Of course, as a soldier, in the end, you have to rely on your ability and skills to kill the enemy, and Diao Yide is impeccable in this regard. What is rare is that he also likes to use his brain, so after just one month, he won the approval of the reconnaissance company.

The reconnaissance company is in charge of reconnaissance work, and its own characteristics are present in combat. Ten kilometers away from Canglin Village, Diao Yide set up the first secret sentry. Then, every 500 meters, there are dark sentinels, and two inconspicuous message trees are used between each post to transmit the message. This can be regarded as an innovation based on Ouyang Yun's version of the message tree. The fall of one tree indicates that a small number of enemies have been found, the fall of two trees indicates a large number of enemies, and the fall of one of the two trees and the other of the two trees before falling for a while indicates that a large number of enemy forces are moving rapidly towards the position of the enemy.

What Yoshizu Ryosuke didn't expect was that they had just left their position outside Changping City and had already been discovered by the defenders of Wangjiawei.

The news that a large number of enemies were moving towards Canglin Village reached Diao Yide, and the retired wolf-tooth special forces were inexplicably excited-opportunity, if he gnawed a bite of meat on this large group of devils with a company of people? So is it necessary to add another bar to your military rank? Quickly dispatched two people to deliver the news to the joint headquarters of Wangjiawei, and Diao Yide began to arrange defensive work on the terrain of Canglin Village.

The task assigned to the reconnaissance company by Gu Mingchang was to discover the enemy's movements in advance and block them depending on the number of enemy troops, so as to buy time for the large army as much as possible. The task was a bit vague, but Diao Yide didn't make it difficult. According to his own analysis, if the 9th and 108th Divisions of the Japanese Army want to get rid of the fate of being encircled and annihilated, they will definitely attack Wangjiawei. When some soldiers complained that they could not participate in the defensive operations of the main position, they found that their superiors were smiling, and those who were familiar with him immediately guessed that the company's defensive mission in Canglin Village was definitely not just for show.

The defense of the reconnaissance company was carried out step by step, and Diao Yide placed the main battlefield on the "racecourse" south of the village, while on the east and west sides of the village, he laid all the more than 130 mines carried by the reconnaissance company. Around the "racecourse", the few trees and shrubs have been completely uprooted, so as not to affect the vision when shooting. A field of crops about 300 meters in front became the first line of attack.

Under the cover of six mortars, more than 10 grenadiers, and more than 10 light and heavy machine guns, the devils of a squadron marched towards the "racecourse."

Platoons and squads of the reconnaissance company were responsible for the first round of interdiction missions, and their heavy armament consisted of two general-purpose machine guns and six grenades per person.

When the devil who was running at the front was only more than 30 meters away from the position guarded by the first squad, without the order of the squad leader, two general-purpose machine guns took the lead in spitting out anger. The next moment, seven or eight grenades were thrown out of the coffin. While the grenades were still flying in the air, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns also rang out in time. After a few seconds, it was the characteristic "empty" sound of mortars.

When the sound of grenades began to burst into the air, everyone in the group began to retreat in the direction of the right side of the "racecourse". There are rows of big trees that provide good cover for them.

"Kill, give!" "Forward!" As soon as the defenders were sensed to begin to retreat, the Japanese front-line officers shouted the command to charge. Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, a squadron of devils rushed towards the "racecourse" in a dense manner.

In front of the large Japanese army, seeing all this in detail through binoculars, Yoshizu Ryosuke immediately sent two squadrons to outflank the back road of Kurabayashi Village from the mountains and fields on the left and right.

There have also been several confrontations between the Ninth Division and the Cadet Army, and Yoshizu Ryosuke summed up the gains and losses, and the lesson he drew after the most decisive conclusion was: Seize all the opportunities that can be fought, firmly bite the small group of the Chinese army that appeared in front of the large army, and encroach on it, so as to achieve the goal of gradually eliminating the vital force of the Chinese army.

In the situation that our enemies are outnumbered and our light weapons are inferior to those of the other party, Yoshizu Ryosuke's move is quite vicious.

Fortunately, Diao Yide planted mines in the mountains on both sides of the village. After the devils were killed and injured by mines one after another, the Japanese army had no choice but to stop the outflanking moves, and could only rely on the squadron that was responsible for the pathfinding task to make a breakthrough from the front. The battle began to get stalemate. Of the eleven officers and men in the first squad, only three of them withdrew to the blocking position behind the "racecourse." The Japanese paid the price of more than 50 dead and wounded, half of whom were killed and injured by mines.

The chief of staff of the Ninth Division, Nakagawa Kosa, put down the binoculars and said to Yoshiju Ryosuke: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the enemy has already been prepared!" ”

The last time at Xifengkou, the Ninth Cavalry Wing led by Nakagawa Guang was equivalent to the whole army in the hands of Hu Li's heroic tank battalion. After that battle, Nakagawa Hiroshi was very depressed for a while, during which he wrote a report on the armament of the cadet army and handed it to the Kwantung Army Command, hoping to attract the attention of the Japanese army top brass to the armament. In the end, his report did exactly what he hoped for. At present, Japan's major arms manufacturers are launching a new round of technological innovation. Because his suggestion was taken seriously, Nakagawa Hiroshi cheered up and threw himself into the war against China again. This time, Yoshizu Ryosuke formulated the strategy of attacking Wangjiawei on both sides, and he insisted on it.
