In the field five kilometers northwest of Lijiatunzi, mushroom clouds from the explosion of heavy bombshells rose one after another. After eliminating the artillery unit of the 18th Brigade Regiment, Li Mazi ordered an artillery bombardment of the dense formation of the Japanese army, which brought heavy casualties to the Japanese army and severely damaged the morale of the other side. Jing Shuxuan was speculating whether there was a large army of the Scholar Army waiting for him on the opposite side, when suddenly, a small Japanese detachment operating on the left hand of his large army came with news that a large number of enemy troops had been discovered in the southeast.

Jing Shuxuan's first reaction was to shout: "Impossible! Then he forced himself to calm down, pondered for a few minutes, and said to the staff officer next to him and the wing commander of the 19th Wing, Hitomi Hidemi: "According to the information of the army headquarters, Changping has only one mechanized infantry brigade of the Xuebing Army, and its main force is moving from Miyun to here. I don't believe they can march so fast. If there were really enemy troops in Huangzhuang, it must be the 29th Army that rushed from Huairou. The strength of the 29th Army in Huairou is two divisions, and if Qin Dechun dares to divide his troops, he will be asking for his own death, which just gives the opportunity for the main force of our army to be annihilated. Of course, Ouyang Yun may also give up rescuing Changping and directly support the 29th Army, but in that case, we will definitely be able to eat this brigade in Changping - send a telegram to the division and the military headquarters, and telegraph my guess to the division commander and commander, Changping Now that the main force of the defenders has arrived in Lijiatunzi, please ask the division commander to step up the attack on Changping. Since the people of China dare to send a large army to fight our brigade to the death, then we will drag him down. Even if Qin Dechun sent a division to support, with the strength of our ninth and 108th divisions, it would be enough to annihilate the current enemy. See Dazuo! ”

Seeing Xiusan, he nodded and bowed: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, please give an order." ”

"Your unit is responsible for counterattacking the enemy at Huangzhuang, crushing it as quickly as possible, and then quickly intervening to deal with the enemy's artillery unit. The enemy in front of him will also have sharp artillery, and once this threat is eliminated, it will be time for our imperial army to poke the opponent at will. Hmph, by that time, Changping may still have us to take it! ”

As a high-achieving student who graduated from the Tokyo Army Non-commissioned Officer School, Jing Shuxuan's words on paper are quite popular. At first, I was worried that I would fall into the trap of the Cadet Army, but now, I wish that this trap was as deep as possible. This is the confidence brought by the so-called second strongest army in the world, right?! However, because the views on the quality of the cadet soldiers and the weapons and equipment are still stuck in the era of the First Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. So, he was wrong in his judgment at the beginning. He never thought that what was blocking him at this time was not the main force of the infantry brigade, but just a mixed force equivalent to a regiment. In addition, it was not the 29th Army that appeared in Huangzhuang, but the Cadet Army, and it was the main force of the Cadet Army that was equipped with new weapons.

Seeing that Xiusan didn't know this, he didn't need to care about this, as the wing commander, he only needed to faithfully carry out the order. On the other hand, the consequences of the underestimation committed by the boss need to be borne by him, a subordinate. He let out a loud "Hai", and then excitedly began to organize the team to rush towards Huangzhuang.

After about a quarter of an hour of shelling, the Japanese offensive was contained. Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Xiaomu withdrew the team to the improvised fortifications. The 3rd Tank Battalion also withdrew to a safe distance, and then took the area with a good view and began to use it as a fixed battery.

In a village called Xiaochen Village to the east of Huangzhuang, the 11th Regiment of the First Division and the Third Brigade of the First Division was being named under the command of the regiment commander Qin Xiangyu. Qin Xiangyu is only 19 years old this year, and he is a member of the original cadet training class, and he is the youngest of all the regimental-level cadres in the cadet army. After receiving the battle order, Deng Zige once again held a marching competition in the brigade, and the reward was that the first regiment to arrive in Huangzhuang in formation would receive the right to attack in the first round. Since the Second Great Wall War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, contrary to the fear of war and the avoidance of war shown by the Chinese army at the first time, the officers and men of both the Cadet Army and the 57th Army have generally shown a high enthusiasm for war, especially the Cadet Army. As soon as Deng Zige opened his mouth, the three regiment commanders below him immediately appeared as if they had taken stimulants, and under their loud shouts and renderings, the already exhausted cadets were stunned to show the spirit of running to death, and it only took more than three hours to rush nearly 50 kilometers. Among them, the 11th Regiment always ran at the forefront of the whole brigade, so it was natural to get the right to attack in the first round.

Officers at all levels were reporting the number of people to Shangguan Lu, and the reconnaissance team in front sent back a message that thousands of little devils had pounced.

Before Qin Xiangyu led the team to Huangzhuang, he had already discovered the whereabouts of the enemy, and he had not begun to assemble the team until now to prepare for the attack, which was to organize the soldiers to assault for an afternoon and replenish two mouthfuls of water. By the way, wait for the comrades who have fallen behind. Speaking of which, his unit has been on the road for nearly two days and nights, with only half an hour of rest at each time he eats, and the officers and men are really tired.

Qin Xiangyu's eyes, which were already a little distracted from exhaustion, immediately widened, and he waved his hand to ask the low-level officers at all levels to stop reporting, and asked loudly: "Brothers, are you tired?" ”

Many of the soldiers heard the scout's words, and everyone was nervous and excited, but they all clenched the strength of their hands. In the face of the group's question, everyone replied in unison as if they had been trained in advance: "Not tired!" ”

Qin Xiangyu nodded, and said in an excited tone: "I'm not afraid, not only am I not afraid, but I'm looking forward to it!" For what? Because this time it was our 11th Regiment that served as the first attacker, the glorious 11th Regiment! Incomprehensible book! ”

A major officer standing in front of the phalanx on the left stood upright, turned around, saluted, and replied in a loud voice: "Here!" ”

Qin Xiangyu looked at him and said loudly, "Are you all in the camp?" ”

"Report the group, it's all together!"

"Very well, then your battalion will be the vanguard! Tang dynasty! Huang Chengxin! ”

Tang Chao and Huang Chengxin were the commanders of the other two battalions, and the two turned around, stood upright, saluted at the same time, and responded: "Here!" ”

Qin Xiangyu: "The third battalion is the vanguard, the second battalion is responsible for support, and the first battalion is seizing the time to build fortifications. ”

Huang Chengxin stopped hearing this, and asked, "Tuanzuo, didn't you take the initiative to attack?" What are you doing digging fortifications? ”

Qin Xiangyu frowned: "There are more than 2,000 devils on the other side, do you think we can defeat a thousand people?" The attack is only to buy you time to dig fortifications. If you really want to attack, you have to wait for the big army to catch up! ”

Huang Chengxin really wanted to fight, and muttered when he heard this: "Aren't there more than 2,000 devils?" ”

Qin Xiangyu waved his hand at the other two battalion commanders when he heard this, then glared at Huang Chengxin and shouted: "Huang Chengxin, just more than 2,000 devils? You think that's a straw? I understand your eagerness to fight, but don't forget, the only way to fight the enemy effectively is to preserve your own strength! What you said in the military seat of the officer training class, did you leave Java? ”

Because Ouyang Yun knew that it was not easy to gather the strength of the army, so every time he taught in the officer training class, he emphasized the importance of preserving strength, saying that to learn to fight smart battles, it was like doing business, and he would never do business at a discount.

Qin Xiangyu regards the military seat as an idol, so he remembers every word of it very clearly. He didn't want to think about it, but from the perspective of doing business, this time Changping had already lost money.
