The so-called defeat is like a mountain, regardless of whether the Japanese base camp admits it or not, as far as the actual situation is concerned, in addition to the Second Army's strategy in Shandong, which has achieved certain results in Shandong, and there is also Chahar in Hebei, it can be regarded as a failure.

From Kazuki Kiyoji to the small privates, whether the Japanese admit it or not, the current situation of the First Army is indeed defeated. And it has gradually evolved into a rout. The distance between Changping and Bagua Pass was not too far, and in this short distance, the First Army left behind nearly 5,000 corpses, as well as more than 1,000 seriously wounded people who could not be taken away.

As the pursuing force found the first devil seriously wounded, a report was submitted to Ouyang Yun for instructions on how to deal with it.

Ouyang Yun only replied with a few words: "Enforce battlefield discipline!" ”

In private, he said to Huang Feihong and others: "I want to leave a painful lesson for the little devils, and let them know that we Chinese are not easy to bully!" ”

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the vanguard of the Japanese army finally saw the Great Wall. When this information reached the ears of Kazuki Kiyoji and other high-ranking officials of the First Army, the old devils finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Great Wall has a special meaning for the First Army, before entering the Great Wall, the Japanese army took the initiative everywhere, and once entering the Great Wall, the good fortune of the First Army seems to have come to an end. First, the 18th Brigade was besieged and annihilated in Lijiatunzi, and then the 9th Division and the 108th Division were besieged by the Xuebing Army with "superior forces", and the air battle that took place in Wangjiawei ended in a crushing defeat, and for this reason, nearly two wings of heavy artillery units were buried. And then ......

Memories are a painful thing, as long as they think of Wangjiawei's oolong battle, Kazuki Kiyoji and Hashimoto feel a toothache. Yes, a night raid battle in a good way, how did it come to such a farce after getting the worst? By the way, what about the enemy army in Wangjiawei? Where did that part of the people go?! Disappeared into thin air? No, there are articles in this! Kiyoji Kazuki suddenly thought of this question in his memories and couldn't help but be surprised. Then, he immediately slowed down the movement of the large army, and at the same time ordered the 2nd Mixed Brigade, which was in the vanguard, to maintain the battle formation, and especially proposed to carry out a large-scale and careful clearing of the surrounding area.

I have to admit that in terms of command ability alone, Kazuki Kiyoji deserves the title of a general. If this order of his was really implemented, then the ambush plan formulated by Ouyang Yun would definitely go bankrupt, and it was very likely that the troops led by Gu and Zhang would fall into a bitter battle. But it just so happened that just as Hashimoto was about to telegraph this new order to the surrounding troops, Terauchi Shouichi's telegram about the dismissal of the commander of the First Army of Kazuki Kiyoji arrived first. In the message, not only did he directly remove Kiyoji Kazuki and Hashimoto from their posts, but he also ordered them to be detained. And the command of the First Army, from the moment the telegram arrived, was to be carried out by Terauchi himself. And the first order issued by Terauchi Shou was to ask the entire First Army to speed up and march towards Yanqing, capture Bagua Pass at any cost, and seize the time to attack Yanqing, and strive to surround and eat the Chinese army in Yanqing City.

When future generations, especially the Japanese, study this period of history, they all sigh at the accident of this history. Many hindsight historians, including military fans, even believe that if the ambush plan of the Xuebing army can be discovered, then the outcome of the Second Battle of the Great Wall is very likely to be rewritten. At the very least, Chahar will follow in the footsteps of Rehe and become part of the puppet Manchuria. In that case, it will directly affect the future of the battle......

As far as the matter is concerned, Shouichi Terauchi issued such an order and did not ignore the possible ambush near the Bagua Pass. After all, Yanqing has already fallen into the hands of the army of the soldiers. With the tactical literacy that Ouyang Yun has shown so far, how could he ignore the section of the Great Wall connecting Yanqing and Changping, he would definitely transfer troops to garrison it.

According to the information brought back by the Japanese reconnaissance plane, the Cadet Army did have troops stationed in Bagua Pass, but the number was limited and there were no heavy weapons. Since suffering a big loss in Jiguang tanks and self-propelled guns, Terauchi Shouichi has paid special attention to the collection of information in this area of the Cadet Army. Therefore, the Japanese reconnaissance plane reconnoitred the situation in a particularly detailed manner.

Compared with the dangers of Xifeng Pass, Tiemen Pass and other passes, there are not many dangerous terrain that can be used by Bagua Pass. The First Army had more than 70,000 troops at this time, and when Shou thought about it, he could use people to step on it, and he could also crush the more than 300 people. Considering these two aspects, he gave such an order to the First Army.

Is that really the case?!

Erroneous! Big fallacy!

Let's not talk about the regiment that Ouyang Yun left to Gu Mingchang, just Zhang Yantian's special police second column, there are still more than 3,000 soldiers to fight at this time. The reason why the Japanese reconnaissance planes did not find them was because Gu and Zhang did not place the main battlefield in Bagua Pass, but chose a hill called Qiushan four kilometers to the south. The Japanese army moved the airfield back because it was afraid of the fighter planes of the Cadet Army, and the evil result of this was that even though the reconnaissance planes took off at dawn, they did not reach the vicinity of Bagua Pass until about 7 o'clock. At this time, Gu and Zhang had already led the troops to ambush in Qiushan.

Gu Zhang and the others didn't know about the farce that happened in Wangjiawei at this time, they only knew that the defensive battle of Li Jiatunzi in Lu Dao had won, and the little devil was fleeing for his life. And their task is to block the way out as much as possible.

Gu Zhang and the two of them, as the supreme commanders, lurked in a place with a relatively wide field of vision, looking at the long line of convoys lined up a few kilometers away and the dense crowd of devils pouring over, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a cautious look in each other's eyes.

The number of devils was beyond their expectations, and it seemed that the little chief couldn't eat much in Lijiatunzi! Gu Mingchang was very worried that once the main force of the army was not well supported, then their ambush battle was very likely to develop into a breakthrough battle.

This has to do with the terrain around Akiyama. Although the Autumn Mountains were connected to the Great Wall of Bagua Pass, there was no danger to defend, and if the Japanese army attacked from the front and sent troops in a roundabout way, it was easy to cut off their contact with the Bagua Pass defenders and surround them.

As a chief, the problem is considered in the long term. The minions don't have to think about it. Compared to the slightly heavy looks of the two commanders, the soldiers were much more excited. Many people even think: Finally, there is a big battle! Grandma's, if the devil doesn't come again, Lao Tzu's hands and feet will be numb.

The mixed 2nd Brigade, in which the Japanese army was in the vanguard, had more than 40% casualties, so everyone was able to get to the place where they landed on the truck. So, the first to enter the ambush section, except for a team of devils who opened the road, were all big trucks.

In order to facilitate unified operations, Gu Mingchang let people set up treacherous mines on the road under the mountain without a trace, stipulating: If no new order is received, then once the explosion is heard, it means that the fight can be started.

The mine was buried under a boulder weighing more than a ton. The boulder was lying on the side of the road, and after being pushed by a few strong men, it is now a barricade and lies in the middle of the road.

The team of devils in charge of reconnaissance of the Japanese army was the first to approach the big rock, and after the team leader found that this stone would hinder the passage of the convoy behind, he shouted and scattered a dozen people to search around, and the others began to move the big stone with a hum.

This area is already very close to Gu Zhang's lurking location. Gu Mingchang watched as those devils began to move stones, and the convoy behind him was still a little far from entering the firing range, especially into the minelaying area, and wanted to update the firing order, but he was afraid of being heard by the devils who were only more than 100 meters away from him, so he was quite anxious.

When the firing signal was first discussed, Zhang Yantian once proposed to detonate a landmine as a signal. The reason why the last one adopted this plan was because he happened to find the boulder.

Worried that the treacherous thunder would explode irresponsibly, Gu Mingchang regretted his original choice a little.

But strangely, the stone was removed, and the thunder did not explode.

"Huh?!" Gu Mingchang was stunned, and instantly quickly took off a grenade from the mountainside of Fu Hai, the guard who was next to him. His idea was that since the Thunderbolt didn't work, then make a grenade!

At this time, Zhang Yantian suddenly turned his head and grinned at him, and then pointed to his right hand with his finger.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Gu Mingchang smiled. There was a platoon commander named Yang Wei who was holding a rope tightly in his hand, and the other end of the rope should be connected to the chain of thunder under the mountain.

After the war, when discussing why the deceitful thunder failed, Zhang Yantian explained the reason. It turned out that just before he laid the trick mine and was about to go up the mountain, he realized that something was wrong, so he changed the position of the trick mine.

About five minutes later, the boulder was finally moved to the side of the road by more than a dozen little devils, and at this time, in the sound of the "sudden" motor, trucks full of little devils approached the boulder one after another.

The squad leader watched his men remove the boulder, and was shouting at the soldiers in charge of the search with a sense of accomplishment to search forward, when he pointed out—boom, and a loud bang sounded next to the boulder—the thunderbolt finally exploded, and its new location was actually in the original position of the boulder.

The squad leader and more than a dozen of his men were all engulfed in the smoke and flames caused by the explosion, and at the same time, unfortunately, a truck happened to drive to the edge of the boulder. The rain of gravel became a killing weapon with bullets at this time, and the squad leader stood in the center of the stone rain and was torn to pieces on the spot. And the big truck was also blown over on the side of the road, and all the devils on it were spared to enjoy the stone feast, and after the explosion, everyone was able to get up.

"Hit!" On the autumn mountain, there was a neat shouting of killing! When the gunshots rang out, Yang Wei and several other people responsible for detonating the mines tightened the ropes in their hands, and some pressed the button of the detonator, and the next moment, a shocking series of explosions sounded, almost deafening the ears of everyone on both sides of the hostile side of Autumn Mountain.

- The Bagua Pass ambush has begun!
