The big knife and the wolf tooth finally made a move, and it gave people a stunning feeling as soon as they shot. The change of ownership in Yanqing not only put the main force of the Japanese First Army in a dilemma, but also threatened the security of the rear flank of the troops directly under the North China Front. This is that Ji Xingwen does not have enough troops in his hands, otherwise he will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack back and forth, in that case, the old devil Shouichi Terauchi will have to bear it.

It was precisely because of the fear of being flanked that Terauchi Shouichi gave up the original Yunzhou strategy and retreated to Akagi, and at the same time ordered the First Army to move in the direction of Chicheng, abandoning the original Jicha raid, and instead "recovering" Yanqing first, so as to ensure that the rear of the front army was safe. He also demanded that Hideki Tojo stop his military operations in Duolun and turn southward to join the main forces of the front army, so as to accumulate strength for the next stage of the war.

In the direction of Huairou, after Qin Dechun led two divisions to attack, the Japanese brigade stationed outside the city was forced to retreat and move closer to the main force of the First Army, which was equivalent to giving up another way to the outside of the Great Wall. In this way, because the 9th Division, the 108th Division, and the 1st Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had to be taken out of Lu, the Japanese army could only move towards Wangjiawei. Next, if they want to carry out Terauchi Shouichi's order to move towards Akagi, then they can only take the line of Bagua Pass.

In the armored command vehicle pursued by the army, Ouyang Yun was smoking a cigarette while quietly listening to a military staff officer named Huang Feihong analyzing the battle situation, and a few minutes after Huang Feihong finished speaking, he extinguished the cigarette butt and asked: "Gu Mingchang and Zhang Yantian, have they reached the Bagua Pass?" ”

"It's here! It arrived at seven o'clock this morning, and this is the telegram they sent back," Huang Feihong finished speaking, taking out a telegram from his portable bag and handing it to Ouyang Yun.

Ouyang Yun looked at it and found that it mentioned that he was hurrying up to build fortifications, so he smiled and said, "Send a telegram to Gu Zhang, so that they must be prepared to fight a tough battle." It's best to fight a nice ambush first, and tell them that I'll let Tie Linfei and them fully support. By the way, Guo Biao, how are they doing over there? How has that puppet army been transformed? ”

"There is no latest information coming back yet," said Pan Meiren. The number of passengers in the armored command vehicle is too low, in addition to Ouyang Yun and his newly arrived personal guard Du Changfei, it is Pan Meiren and Huang Feihong. And the reason why Huang Feihong, a returned overseas Chinese, was able to become a celebrity next to the little commander so quickly was because the low-level troops of the Cadet Army lacked staff officers, so once he was trained by Ouyang Yun's side, he was immediately sent down to support the world alone.

Pan Meiren has been following the troops for this time, and her eyes have turned dark, Ouyang Yun nodded, glanced at her, couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said softly: "You rest for a while, this pursuit is just for show, the real battle is still early, hurry up and rest." Xiao Huang, Xiao Du, you also close your eyes and take a nap, it is estimated that there will be a big battle in the evening. ”

"Junza, we're not tired, but you haven't closed your eyes for two days and two nights."

"Ouyang, you can rest too!"

Ouyang Yunha laughed: "I'm not tired, who am I?!" Pushing all three of them back into their seats, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Pangolins, leopards, tigers, coyotes, bears, this is the lair, there is a big meal today, remember the rotation of the troops, especially the leopard head and the tiger head." ”

"I'm a leopard (pangolin, tiger, coyote, bear), received, done."

In an armored car more than ten kilometers away, Tong Linge hung up the microphone, looked at a few subordinates around him and said: "This thing is good, it is really convenient to use it to command operations." But aren't these code names too earthy? ”

Several officers laughed, and one of the colonels said, "This is what the little commander came up with, right?" After all, it's understandable that you're young, hehe, and like to mess around. ”

One of the majors immediately objected: "Definitely not nonsense! This is done to prevent enemy forces from learning about their troop strength through eavesdropping. ”

This major was the only one among the many officers in the teaching corps who had been trained in Renqiu, and he won the trust of Tong Linge.

Tong Linge nodded: "That's the reason." Geng Le, tell me, as far as you observe, what is the strength of the student army compared with our army? ”

If the old general's words had been put in the past, they would have aroused a lot of opposition on the spot. However, since the same operation and battle with the Cadet Army for some time, especially after changing the weapons and equipment of the other side, now, no one has a skeptical attitude towards it. On the battlefield, everything depends on strength. Undoubtedly, the Cadet Army is indeed an army with particularly young qualifications, but its strong combat power and the soldiers' tough military quality have been recognized by these veterans.

Geng Le thought for a while and said, "The key is the concept." General, don't you think that the Cadet Army is very similar to the army of *** in many places? The officers and men share weal and woe, and absolutely do not disturb the people in the station. All these ensure the nobility of this team and the centripetal force of the officers and soldiers, but ......" He frowned, as if searching for words.

To others, it sounded like they were appetizing.

"Go on!"

"Don't hang up your appetite, okay?!"

Tong Linge smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.

Geng Le glanced at everyone, his gaze was the most distracted and then cast on the face of the supreme commander, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I always feel that everything that the student army shows gives people a false feeling. Well, it's just not reliable, whether it's a political system or a military system. This force is very strong at the moment, but I always feel that it will be destroyed at an equally alarming rate. ”

"Defeat?!" Except for Tong Linge, everyone opened their mouths wide and their eyes widened.

The current situation of the student army is not an exaggeration to describe it as in full swing, but Geng Le, this kid, actually mentioned "defeat", and concluded that the speed would be very fast. Is this kid's head showing off and talking nonsense, or does he really master some secrets?! Everyone directly joined the Scholar Army with General Tong, and many people had the idea of settling down here from now on, but if the Scholar Army was really just a passing moment, they had to reconsider.

There was a moment of silence in the armored car. After a while, the colonel who spoke first roared: "Geng Le, you kid is alarmist, right?!" ”

Geng Le smiled bitterly: "I hope so, but-" Before he finished speaking, he shook his head, gritted his teeth and continued: "As long as Ouyang Yun does not die, I believe that the re-emergence of the student army will be even faster." ”

Colonel: "I'm confused! ”

Tong Linge looked at Geng Le and smiled, slapped him on the shoulder for a long time and said, "Good boy, it's really in vain Renqiu and his party, you have grown up." Hehe, if the teaching team can still be out of the ground in the future, it will depend on you. ”

The others all looked at Geng Le, but the latter couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "General, don't make this joke, how can you kid He De, besides, can we find a better chief officer than you?" ”

"What I said is true. You are also aware of my physical condition. Hehe, not much more. His voice suddenly became louder, and he shouted, "Geng Le! ”

"Here!" The latter stood up in a hurry, trying to stand up and salute, but of course there was no doubt that he came into close contact with the roof of the armored car, and grinned in pain.

Several people laughed, including Tong Linge. But the smile on the latter's face sank in a flash. He stared at Geng Le and said, "From now on, you will take the position of chief of the general staff of the teaching corps, and your rank will also be promoted to major general." Well, when this battle is over, I will report it to Commander Ouyang for the record. ”

Everyone was stunned, for the name in front of the army commander in his sentence - you must know that at present, the teaching corps still belongs to the 29th Army. To put it bluntly, the appointment of personnel actually does not hinder Ouyang Yun at all.

This small episode, which took place before the Bagua Pass War, has limited people in the know. And the prophecy made by the young Major Geng Le came true after a period of time, which was unexpected by everyone present at the time.

Of course, that's another story.

In North China in June, the weather was already slightly hot at noon. This undoubtedly increases the consumption of energy for soldiers on long marches.

Fortunately, the cadet army is okay, because it is the chasing side, it has a natural psychological advantage, and it can take turns to rest, so the officers and soldiers feel that they can still eat.

The Japanese army was different. Their mentality at this time can be described as disgraced. And the most fatal thing is that, as their commander such as Kazuki Kiyoji expected, the air force of the Shina people was dispatched. Among them, the first wave was more than 30 bombers and more than 10 fighters.

There are planes bombing in the sky, so you must maintain a loose formation and be ready to "lie down" at any time; There is an enemy chasing behind you, and if you don't pay attention to it and fall behind, then just wait to be surrounded and annihilated! Thus, for the first time in 31 years, such a scene appeared on the land of China, where the Japanese as invaders were running wildly all over the mountains, and in the air, it was the Chinese fighters in hot pursuit! And behind the dense devil stragglers, there are Chinese chariots and soldiers chasing Youya. Tons of bombs fell, thousands of bullets flew down, and one little devil after another fell in a pool of blood wailing - the morale of the Japanese army fell to the point of no return.

"Why did you do this?" Recalling the high morale of the marching last night, more than one low-ranking officer of the devil raised such a question. The Imperial Japanese Army, which once dared to drive more than 300,000 troops in the Northeast with more than 1,000 troops in the Northeast like ducks, became a lost dog? !

No one will be able to answer them. Because Kazuki Kiyoji can't come up with an effective way to travel. In the case of losing air supremacy, discarding all heavy artillery, and even having few combat vehicles left, it is the subordinates who are willing to fight hard, the question is, what to fight? With a bayonet? What's the difference between that and sending to death?! Ever since he learned about Wangjiawei's Oolong Battle, Kazuki Kiyoji has been aware of his future, but as a soldier who thinks he is very professional, he will not sacrifice the lives of nearly 100,000 officers and soldiers of the First Army for his position.

From this point of view, it seems that he is still a conscientious commander.
