Chapter 1: A New Battle of Xifengkou? quiet
The fall of Nantianmen or other passes is actually only a matter of time. Think about it, during the Great Wall War of Resistance in 33, the national army had 350,000 troops, and the Japanese army only had more than 50,000 people, what was the result? Or it ended with the defeat of the Chinese army. This time, not to mention that Nanjing did not mobilize a single soldier to assist in the defense of the Great Wall, that is, Shanxi and Suiyuan are the two places closest to Jicha and Shandong, and now they are only putting on a defensive posture, and it is simply an impossible task for them to take the initiative to attack.
Although the Cadet Army now has nearly five divisions of regular strength, the 57th Army also has four divisions, and the 29th Army has three divisions, it is still too far behind the Japanese army. Along the Great Wall of several hundred kilometers, it is enough to completely defend it with these forces alone. After the Japanese army captured Nantianmen, they marched overnight, and by about 5 o'clock in the morning, the 10th and 22nd divisions had already marched into the Great Wall. Among them, the 10th Division pounced on Chicheng, and the 20th Division attacked Yanqing. Zhangjiakou is in danger. And once Zhangjiakou really falls, not to mention anything else, Jicha will be cut into two sections from now on. Later, once the Japanese army presses the whole army to Chahar, then Ji Xingwen's 143rd Division and the Cantonese Independent Brigade will inevitably fall into an embarrassing situation? If you continue the previous strategy, you will inevitably be surrounded by the Japanese army, but if you want to retreat, you can only enter Suiyuan. The problem is that if you retreat to Suiyuan, not to mention whether Fu Zuoyi will provide convenience, even if Fu Zuoyi lends a hand, these two troops will not be able to play a role for a long time, and this will be fatal to the already scarce student army.
The development of the war was completely out of Ouyang Yun's grasp, and this omniscient little chief fell off the altar for the first time. As soon as the news of the Nantianmen break spread, Renqiu was fine, and there were waves of refugees of varying degrees in other places. Among them, Beiping, which is still under the actual control of the 29th Army, is the most powerful, and it is an exaggeration to say that there are ten households and nine emptiness, but it is a true portrayal of more than five households that choose to flee out of ten households. Some people fled, and naturally some people came forward. Taking Beiping as an example, under the organization of the local government, self-defense forces of various names have poured out one after another, and although it is inevitable that some of them are fishing in troubled waters and have other intentions, most of them really have the idea of defending their homes and the country and go into battle shirtless.
This was also unexpected by Ouyang Yun. Of course, if you look closely, you can't help but have his influence. One of them is due to the situation created by the "Anti-Japanese Heroes" when they were in Pingjin, after Shi Yousan, because the risk of being a traitor is too high, this industry has gradually become a big unpopularity. Now, although I dare not say how many traitors have decreased, at least, in the case that the Xuebing Army and the 57th Army have not shown obvious defeats, and the Japanese army has not yet been stationed, these traitor suspects only dare to hide at home to observe the situation.
The 10th Division of the Japanese First Army was the first to resist, and it was a local self-defense force that stood in their way. There are only 137 members of this self-defense force, and there are no other decent weapons except for the more than 30 Zhongguan distributed by Ji Xingwen. In a place called Yucun Ridge, this local armed force bravely stood up, and behind the simple fortifications, with dozens of Hanyang-made, shotgun and an earthen cannon among the more than 30 units, they blocked the little devil for more than an hour and a half. One hundred and twenty-six men, plus eleven women, all of them were killed in the end.
Although this battle was only a skirmish at best, it was a great battle with Tiemen Pass and Xifeng Pass. Even the Japanese army buried these Chinese warriors collectively after the war, and erected a monument: the tomb of one hundred and thirty-seven warriors in Yucunling, China.
This is the beginning, in the village of the cow, the Orion Niu Dawa single-handedly, relying on an ancestral iron tire bow, shot four devils by himself, including a Shao Zuo, and later chased by a squadron of devils and jumped off a lonely peak behind the cow village.
In Huangcun, three members of another Self-Defense Force used a mine to create a landslide and buried nearly a squad of devils alive. Still in Huangcun, an old man named Zhang Genbao killed a devil with a hunting fork and seriously injured a military Cao......
It was still the brigade sent by the Cantonese department during Chen Jitang's time, and after the failure of the Chen Jitang Incident, it became a military force that took refuge in the student army. The brigade commander, Major General Huang Hewen, graduated from Whampoa and is an aspiring soldier with a high patriotic enthusiasm. After the Nantianmen was breached, he voluntarily requested an attack, arriving at Akagi at about half past nine in the morning, and then engaged in an encounter with a wing of the 10th Division. The place where the two sides met was in a place called Wild Box on the southern outskirts of Akagi. Huang Hewen's plan also wanted to hold the Japanese army advancing north, and buy time for Ouyang Yun and Ji Xingwen's troop dispatch, so the troops took a rapid march; The Japanese army was very cautious in their march because of resistance along the road after entering the pass, and the troops contracted very tightly. The Japanese army's road-opening force was the 10th Wing of the 33rd Brigade, and at the head of the queue were eight Quirrells of a chariot squadron.
The commander of the Japanese Quirrell chariot was the first to discover the enemy's situation, and the eight chariots quickly reached a tacit understanding, stopped together, and carried out a fierce artillery bombardment on a reconnaissance company, the vanguard of the Yellow Crane Cultural Brigade, which hurried over. Subsequently, a squadron of the chariot unit quickly moved forward, occupied the favorable terrain nearby, and began to suppress the company's fire. The commander of the 10th Division, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, was tired of the harassment of the small group of enemies encountered along the road, and was concentrating on finding the main force of the Xuebing Army for a decisive battle.
As soon as the cannon sounded in front, Huang Hewen felt that something was wrong - the Japanese army was marching faster than he expected, and since the enemy had tanks, it would not be a small force. Before this, perhaps because he had heard too much about the deeds of the student soldiers beating the Japanese army, he was also ambitious to find a large army of the Japanese army to fight. However, he did not get hot-headed because of this, thinking that he would press the troops up without asking about the opportunity to do so. He climbed a nearby high ground, observed the enemy situation, calmly analyzed the situation, and then quickly made a decision, leaving a battalion at the forefront of the team to meet the reconnaissance company in front of the attack, and the large force turned in the direction of Yunzhou.
