Lieutenant General Nishiichi of the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army now has no fewer men and horses than before, and even more than before.

As one of the permanent divisions of the Japanese Army, the 8th Division should be established as one division, two brigades and other auxiliary arms, and the total strength of the full force can reach more than 25,000 people, but the 8th Division during this period of time is still established in peacetime, and the number of divisions and regiments has not been expanded to wartime, so the establishment of brigades and regiments is not two wings, but brigades as units.

After removing the 700 casualties in the previous attack on Xifengkou, the 16th Brigade directly under the 8th Division has nearly 7,000 troops, including 5 infantry brigades and 1 artillery brigade.

With the 7,000 men of the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division who came to help, the 3,000 people of the 6th Wing of the Field Artillery, and the auxiliary units such as the 1st Tank Brigade of the 8th Division and the Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade assigned to the 8th Division before the war, Xiyi now has 20,000 elite Japanese troops, plus nearly 10,000 so-called Manchukuo soldiers, and the number of troops under Xiyi is more than before the Battle of Rehe.

To put aside peacetime, Xiyi waved his troops early in the morning to level the inconspicuous Luo Wenyu Pass. But now, Xi Yiyi chose not to say anything, but built the fortifications himself, looking like he was going to have a long-term confrontation.

The Chinese soldiers on the opposite side of the position were able to open their eyes, since the beginning of the war, they have not seen so many Japanese, and so many Japanese have no intention of attacking the position at all, from the moment they arrived at the battlefield and collected the corpses of the 4th Brigade and regiment, they were busy digging trenches and building fortifications in the distance.

"Squad leader, what are you doing, little devil? If you don't come to fight us, what kind of trench will you dig far away? A recruit curiously touched the squad leader who was lazily reclining in the trench and smoking.

Without even bothering to look out, the veteran leisurely spit out a smoke ring and said, "Why are you digging a trench?" The little devils are afraid to die, thousands of devils were killed by the old men, do you think they are not afraid! Maybe they think we have a few divisions of people waiting for them here! ”

"But, squad leader, how many divisions are there from us? With the addition of the brothers from the two regiments over there, we only have 3 regiments in total. The recruit looked at the countless small black dots in the distance, and his face was a little unpleasant.

"I'm afraid of an egg, don't you all like to say that Brother Pao doesn't have a thin belt! What's the matter, there are too many little devils, are you cowardly? The veteran puffed out a puff of blue smoke, looked at the slightly timid recruit with disdain, and sneered.

"Hit a ball, squad leader, you can see with your own eyes, I killed two devils yesterday, and if there are more devils, our independent regiment can kill a few more, I'm just worried about the brothers in the national army over there, I'm afraid that there will be too many little devils, and they will be cowardly." The recruit argued with a red face.

"You don't have to other people's hearts, no one can do anything if the soft eggs want to run, we beat ours, Tuanza said, kill a devil for 5 oceans, you still take this opportunity to save more money for your wife, you don't have that store in this village if you miss it." The veteran squad leader rolled his eyes, glanced into the distance, and lay down lazily again.

This is also a relatively common idea among the soldiers of the independent regiment, the Japanese are now very powerful and look very scary, but for them who have annihilated a brigade and regiment, they are really not too afraid, they are afraid that what they are worried about is the two regiments of the 29th Army responsible for the right flank of the defensive position, if they can't withstand it, it will be a little bad.

Not to mention that the soldiers of the Independent Regiment would think so, even Qi Guangyuan himself was a little unbearable.

Qi Guangyuan, who had just learned from the telegram that he had received the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun, had no joy on his face, and his eyes had been staring at Luo Wenyu's map hanging on the wall of the joint headquarters of the two regiments for a full hour.

Although the specific number of the Japanese troops who arrived on the battlefield is not yet known, according to the information fed back by the reconnaissance company at the front, the number of Japanese troops and puppet troops on the opposite side will never be less than 25,000, which is the number of Japanese troops defended by nearly 60,000 people in the entire 29th Army!

Others don't know, but Qi Guangyuan knows very well that since the outbreak of the first battle at Xifengkou, the 29th Army has killed 3,000 officers and soldiers and wounded 6,000 people, and now their three regiments are only 7,300 people who can participate in the battle, and the casualties of the 29th Army alone are already higher than the number of all Luo Wenyu's defenders.

Can this battle still be fought? The difference in strength is too great!

As for the reinforcements, Qi Guangyuan didn't dare to hope for it, the division headquarters had already called, the enemy's 33rd mixed brigade was moving towards Lengkou, if Lengkou fell, the flank of the 29th Army would be completely exposed to the enemy's guns, and the reorganized 2nd Division, which was originally preparing to reinforce Luo Wenyu, must send reinforcements to Lengkou. At the same time, in terms of the frontal position at Xifengkou, there is definite information that the 1st Division of the 10th Division of the Kwantung Army is approaching Xifengkou from Chifeng, 300 miles away. A mixed brigade and a brigade have already drawn out a division to move to the frontal position of Xifengkou, which is in Lengkou, and the pressure is not much different from that of Luo Wenyu.

As for the three divisions of the Central Army on the Gubeikou side, Qi Guangyuan never thought that it would be good if they could defend the Nantianmen of Gubeikou without losing it, if a large force of Japanese troops came from the direction of Miyun, then their three regiments would be dumplings.

Not to mention reinforcements from other directions, not to mention what the bigwigs of the military council think, the distance of hundreds of miles is desperate, and it is estimated that even if they come, they will not be able to catch up with this big battle.

It's no wonder that Qi Guangyuan is desperate, in this era, except for a small number of cars in the Central Army, the other troops rely more on iron feet, and the distance of hundreds of miles is enough for them to run on the road for several days.

In other words, in these few days, if you want to repel the attack of 20,000 or 30,000 Japanese troops, you can only rely on yourself.

Perhaps, if you want to survive this upcoming brutal battle, you can only look at the independent regiment. Qi Guangyuan, who had been frowning tightly, couldn't help but think of Liu Lang's fat face that had been smiling faintly and looked a little cute.

However, since the day and night of the battle with the 4th Brigade, Qi Guangyuan has never associated Liu Lang's white fat face with the word cute. His wisdom is like a demon, and he plans to destroy nearly 10,000 little devils in the 4th Brigade one ring after another, which proves that the young regiment commander has the potential to become a famous general, and Qi Guangyuan does not doubt that Liu Lang will be a first-class general in the future.

However, stripping nearly 1,000 wounded Japanese soldiers naked and throwing them to death in the field without blinking an eyelid is not a decision that a commander with the title of "cute" can make.

Liu Lang's heart is far harder than his soft face.

Of course, Qi Guangyuan did not know that the Japanese army committed a monstrous crime on the land of China five years later, and the unjust souls of the 400,000 compatriots in Nanjing will still be wailing in people's ears in the new century, and they must not be forgotten for a moment.

Liu Lang: This is just a little interest first.

In fact, throughout the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Lang's cruelty to the Japanese prisoners has always been criticized by the Chinese high-level, but most of the leaders turned a blind eye to the outstanding military exploits and unsubstantiated evidence, and it was the little devils who died anyway. The Japanese side naturally gritted their teeth and hated it, but they were helpless to take a certain man who ranked first on the must-kill list.

Liu Lang's bitter hatred for the Japanese army from the beginning of the war has always been the focus of debate among historians, compared to the view that Liu Lang hated all the Japanese because Miss Ji was almost killed by the Japanese army Cao Chacha because of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, I am afraid that most people still think that Liu Lang is a nationalist in his bones This argument is more reliable.

Yes, first ask Commander Liu's opinion, Qi Guangyuan did not hesitate to dial the phone number of the Independent Youth League Headquarters.

Maybe Qi Guangyuan himself didn't realize that subconsciously, he had regarded Liu Lang, who was at the same level as him, and the independent regiment under his command as the backbone.
